I build QA leadership communities and scale quality, people, and delivery systems for complex software organizations.
What I'm looking for
I've led quality engineering and operations at Exness, Apriorit, and HeadWorks, building company-wide testing strategies, QA roadmaps, hiring systems, and development processes. At Exness, I improved the QA hiring funnel 5x and reduced lead time for top QA hires from three months to one month.
