What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead quality engineering, automation architecture, performance testing, and CI/CD quality practices for regulated or high-availability products, while mentoring engineers and improving release confidence.

I've built web, mobile, API, accessibility, security, and contract-testing capability for Vertice MedTech's regulated digital-health platform, supporting 20+ frontend, backend, Android, and iOS developers. I expanded test coverage by 45% through LLM-assisted scenario drafting while testing clinical workflows and Adyen POS transactions.

At Absa Group, I led quality engineering for high-availability banking and financial-reporting solutions across African markets, reducing regression cycle time by 60% through pipeline-integrated automation. At Investec, I owned automation strategy and framework design in a SAFe programme and reduced escaped production defects by 40% through end-to-end automation and whole-team quality ownership.

Across Standard Bank, Nedbank, MultiChoice, and financial-services platforms, I've designed automation frameworks, performance suites, test-data strategies, and CI/CD quality practices. I enjoy mentoring engineers and embedding quality into Agile and SAFe delivery.
