What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a remote Manager, Quality Engineering role where I can assess, standardize, and grow a QA function.

At Edgenuity Inc. (now Imagine Learning), I served as release operator for the Home Learning platform, running 240+ production releases. I held releases when acceptance criteria or feature-flag gates were missing and rolled back changes that caused defects.

I built a Playwright framework from scratch and expanded integration coverage across five backend services. I also built k6 performance suites and owned QA for the re-platformed LMS through its January 2026 production launch.

At TurnTo Networks, I worked with three test engineers and introduced automated and exploratory testing practices. Earlier, at Pearson North America, I managed a small offshore team building test automation.
