What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build/scale QA functions, drive automation-first strategies, improve release confidence, and mentor teams in collaborative, product-led environments.

I am a Head of Quality Assurance with 6+ years of experience building and scaling QA functions across telecoms, fintech, healthcare, mobility, robotics, and ERP systems. I define QA strategy, embed quality across the product lifecycle, and lead teams to deliver automation-first testing, CI/CD integration, and production-aware validation that reduces defect leakage and improves release confidence.

My hands-on expertise spans test automation, API validation, performance testing, and ERP validation using tools like Selenium, Playwright, Postman, k6, Grafana, InfluxDB, and Dockerized CI/CD pipelines. I've led QA at MTN and Interswitch and currently lead QA at MAX, where I established standards, mentored engineers, introduced performance/reliability testing, and translated technical risk into business impact for leadership.
