What I'm looking for

I'm interested in leadership opportunities such as QA Manager, Test Manager, Head of QA, and Quality Engineering Manager, where I can contribute to organizational strategy and drive meaningful improvements. I'm open to international opportunities and remote/B2B work.

At Planet, I led QA efforts for a payment product in a fintech environment, helping build testing capabilities from the ground up. I designed and implemented an automated testing framework and introduced performance testing initiatives.

At Multivision - Consulting, I design and maintain end-to-end test suites for enterprise web applications in the insurance and financial services sector. I use Playwright and TypeScript, integrate tests into Azure DevOps pipelines, and manage secure credentials with Azure Key Vault.

Earlier, at Crossjoin Solutions, I directed a team of 40 professionals delivering performance optimization reports for a key client, Oracle. My experience also includes performance engineering, software testing, and quality assurance across fintech, payments, retail, energy, and technology consulting.
