What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior remote role where I can own QA automation architecture, CI/CD quality gates, and shift-left/mobile/AI-driven testing—while leading teams and mentoring engineers to improve release speed and defect detection.

I’m a Lead SDET and QA Automation Architect with 11+ years of experience building enterprise-grade quality engineering solutions across fintech, SaaS, and enterprise software. I specialize in shift-left testing, mobile automation, AI-driven testing, and CI/CD quality delivery.

I’ve driven measurable outcomes, including a 67% faster release cadence and a 70% improvement in defect catch rates. At Tala through Turing, I compressed release testing from 3 days to 1 day, and at VentureDive I boosted fault coverage using AI-driven, self-healing automation.

I lead cross-functional QA teams and own automation roadmaps—architecting scalable frameworks that accelerate coverage without sacrificing quality. I’ve built unified automation strategies spanning web, mobile, and API layers, and shipped 300+ mobile scenarios across full iOS and Android device matrices.

I’m open to senior remote contracts and consulting engagements worldwide. I bring a quality-first mindset, pragmatic engineering standards, and mentoring experience (8+ QA engineers) to help teams ship with confidence.
