What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA across backend/API products, scale processes in Agile, own release quality, and drive shift-left automation—using AI-assisted testing to accelerate defect prevention and integration validation.

I’m a Senior QA Engineer / QA Team Lead with 12+ years of experience in web, mobile, backend, and API testing across FinTech, ERP, and SaaS products. I focus on validating complex monolithic architectures and ERP integrations with deep API diagnostics and SQL-based auditing to protect data integrity for high-volume financial transactions.

I lead QA delivery through release management and SDLC optimization, including navigating high-stakes cycles and 50% scope volatility without compromising quality. I’ve built and mentored teams (scaling from 2 to 8 engineers), pioneered shift-left quality advocacy, and modernized QA workflows with AI-assisted testing (Claude Code and OpenAI Codex), while supporting production monitoring using Kibana and Sentry.
