What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead quality, performance, automation, and release practices that help distributed teams deliver reliable software faster.

I'm leading performance and reliability testing for Federal Reserve Bank of Boston banking systems through Client Resources Inc., building automated promotion pipelines, performance benchmarks, and AWS-based test resources. I use Python for fraud and performance-data validation and automate certificate integration across HashiCorp Vault, IBM MQ, and JMeter servers.

Across American Express, Skipify, Acquire.io, FruitStreet Health, Akili Interactive Labs, Zipongo, StudyBlue, Ticketweb, and Ticketmaster, I've built QA functions and automation frameworks spanning APIs, web, mobile, and performance testing. My work has reduced manual testing, strengthened deployment gates, enabled faster releases, supported SOC 2 controls, and helped QA engineers grow into SDET roles.
