ArmeniaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Lead Quality Engineering professional with 15+ years in software quality engineering and 8+ years leading teams across financial services, insurance, enterprise platforms, e-commerce, and digital products.

I partner with Product Owners and engineering leadership on requirement clarity, produce quality metrics for stakeholder risk visibility, and apply AI-assisted techniques for test case generation and coverage improvement—while maintaining strong hands-on experience in functional, API, database, and integration testing.
