What I'm looking for

I'm looking for opportunities to lead and uplift QA teams, strengthen automation and testing standards, and partner closely with business and technical stakeholders on complex products.

At Inspired Testing, I lead end-to-end test planning and quality governance for retail, legal, and insurance programmes. I coordinate testers, business analysts, and stakeholders while standardising exploratory testing, mobile testing, reporting, and delivery practices.

I've strengthened QA teams at Takealot, Travel Counsellors, and Old Mutual environments through automation enablement, UAT training, mentoring, onboarding, and release readiness. My background spans SQL, API testing, web and mobile applications, Agile delivery, and PHP development foundations.
