Message

At weavix, I lead a team of six testers and am transforming quality engineering across a connected-product ecosystem. I designed an enterprise repository of more than 2,500 traceable software requirements.

I’m integrating agentic programming with Claude Code into requirements analysis, test creation, validation planning, and troubleshooting, with human review and engineering judgment.

At iLAB, LLC, I led a multidisciplinary Quality Engineering team and built reusable automation frameworks using Java, Selenium, REST Assured, and OpenText FT. The frameworks supported UI, API, and database validation, reduced script maintenance by 30%, and helped achieve more than 80% regression coverage.

At Vericast, I developed automated functional and performance test suites that reduced manual regression effort by 60%. I also supported production reliability monitoring with New Relic and SolarWinds Orion, helping reduce mean time to resolution by 35%.
