QA Automation Lead at Purple, building AI-run QA that found 132 bugs and caught 111 before release.

Message

At Purple, I built and run an AI-first QA function where agents test releases, write and repair Playwright scenarios, and raise fixes as pull requests. I set the rules, review decisions, and own the outcome.

I led the Selenium-to-Playwright migration and built a regression framework from scratch with Gherkin, Cucumber, and Allure. It covers 828 scenarios across six products and cut full regression from seven hours to 2.5.

Before Purple, I worked at Thales Ground Transportation Systems on transport and rail systems, including leading a team of automation engineers and building a Jenkins test platform. I bring hands-on quality engineering together with AI-assisted testing, release governance, and practical automation.
