What I'm looking for

I seek senior QA/automation roles where I can lead test automation, mentor teams, work in Agile CI/CD environments, and drive quality metrics and process improvements.

I have over 20 years of experience leading quality assurance across Healthcare, E‑Commerce, Government, Retail, Financial Information Management, Marketing, and service providers, delivering test strategy, automation, and measurable quality improvements. I design and implement automation using Selenium, Java, Cucumber/Gherkin, Azure DevOps CI/CD, and advanced SQL to reduce manual QA cycles and validate complex integrations.

I am a Certified Agile Scrum Master with Secret Government Clearance who partners with BA and development teams to define testing targets, optimize regression coverage, and report real‑time quality metrics. I take pride in mentoring teams, implementing test management best practices (Jira, Confluence, ALM/QC), and driving process improvements that ensure reliable, timely releases.
