What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Principal QA role where I can lead QA strategy end-to-end—build automation infrastructure, integrate quality gates into CI/CD, and use quality metrics/observability to improve release reliability and product stability.

I’m a Principal QA Engineer with 10+ years leading quality strategy across web, mobile, and backend systems. I build QA infrastructure from scratch, design end-to-end test strategies, and scale automation coverage while driving a stronger quality culture across organizations.

My work centers on test architecture, CI/CD integration, and data-driven quality metrics. From company-wide QA strategy across iOS/Android and backend to integrating QA into CI/CD pipelines with quality gates, I focus on release reliability, improved testing efficiency, and measurable product stability. My background in mathematics and software engineering keeps my approach analytical and systematic.
