At Bluebricks, I lead CLI testing strategy and execution, drive front-end and back-end coverage, and own test plans, strategy, reporting, and end-to-end release validation.

Previously at Blackbird Lab, I tested a HoloLens2 AR application and companion web product, maintained release tracking and test suites, validated BIM integrations, and performed API testing across integrated services.

Across Togizu Technologies and TravelBank, I supported web, mobile, and API releases through test planning, debugging, performance monitoring, database and third-party integration validation, and Jenkins CI/CD pipeline maintenance.

I've also delivered manual, exploratory, regression, usability, compatibility, and beta testing through Applause, collaborating closely with Product, Developers, Design, clients, and QA teams in Agile environments.
