What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role where I can lead QA initiatives, drive product quality, and foster team development in a collaborative environment.

With over 11 years of experience in building and scaling QA organizations from the ground up, I have a proven track record in early-stage startups leading to successful exits. My expertise lies in developing strategies that enhance product quality and team performance in fast-paced environments. At Evercharge, I designed and executed an AI strategy across multiple hardware and software products, resulting in significant enterprise contracts and improved test coverage.

As a founding hire at Volta Charging, I played a crucial role in ensuring platform reliability during critical evaluation periods, which supported a successful IPO and acquisition. My passion for mentoring teams and implementing innovative testing solutions has consistently driven efficiency and quality in product development. I thrive in leadership roles where I can leverage my skills to foster growth and excellence.
