What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead AI-enabled quality engineering, automation, performance testing, and shift-left delivery practices while improving SDLC workflows and developing QA teams.

At Liven/Nomni, I lead QA across four companies, reporting to the CEO on quality control and future plans. I’ve built automation and performance-testing frameworks, an agentic framework that generates test cases from Jira tickets, and AI workflows for release management, incidents, documentation, and marketing.

Previously, I built integration automation suites, API documentation and SDKs for Django backends, and test-data APIs; I’ve also delivered Playwright, WebDriverIO, Puppeteer, Pact, Selenium, TOSCA, and performance-testing solutions for CMC Markets, Kmart, Australian Community Media, Cognizant, Telstra, and Woolworths. I enjoy shifting quality left, mentoring QA teams, improving CI/CD pipelines, and helping teams build smoother SDLC practices.
