What I'm looking for

I seek a technical QA role focused on IoT or connected devices where I can lead testing strategy, mentor teams, ensure data/security compliance, and drive product-quality improvements in collaborative, innovation-focused environments.

I am an accomplished IoT Quality Assurance professional with a background in legal studies and cybersecurity, experienced across healthcare, banking, e-commerce, transportation, pharma and IoT. I have planned and executed comprehensive testing procedures for IoT-enabled devices, validated MQTT and Bluetooth communications, assessed algorithms and product acceptance criteria, and produced metrics and KPIs to drive quality.

Throughout my career I have led and mentored QA teams, partnered with product owners, and coordinated cross-functional testing activities from unit through SAT, integrating API, E2E, regression and performance testing practices. I combine hands-on test engineering (Python, Postman, CI/CD, Cucumber) with process leadership (ScrumMaster, test planning, estimations) and a strong emphasis on data governance, data ethics and infosec.
