RomaniaWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated QA Lead, I have successfully implemented new QA strategies that transformed entire departments into automation-focused teams. At Iris Software Group, I led a team of over 20 engineers, achieving 100% CRUD coverage automation and increasing unit test coverage from 15% to nearly 80%. My commitment to quality-driven development has fostered a culture of excellence within both QA and engineering departments.
Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my leadership and technical skills. From setting up automation frameworks at Jaspercard to acting as a Validation Lead at Signant Health, I have consistently driven improvements and coached teams to adopt best practices in testing and automation. My experience spans multiple tools and technologies, including C#, Python, and AWS, enabling me to adapt to diverse project requirements and deliver high-quality results.
I am passionate about mentoring and developing talent within my teams, ensuring that each member is equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their roles. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can contribute to both strategic planning and hands-on testing, making a meaningful impact on project success.
