IrelandWhat I'm looking for
I am an Agile Delivery Lead and QA specialist with 8+ years delivering enterprise data transformations, SaaS and mobile platforms. I have established and scaled Agile operating models in SAFe environments, coached cross-functional teams, and led quality strategy for large-scale data consolidation projects to ensure single-source-of-truth integrity.
I combine hands-on QA expertise (functional, API, performance, security, automation) with delivery leadership—managing parallel initiatives, onboarding technical hires, and implementing metrics-driven forecasting to improve predictability and release stability. I focus on continuous improvement, stakeholder alignment, and building psychologically safe teams that reliably deliver business value.
