What I'm looking for

I seek a QA or systems testing role where I can lead testing efforts for enterprise applications, drive automation, ensure AODA/accessibility compliance, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality releases.

I am a seasoned systems tester and QA professional with deep experience testing complex N-Tier applications and enterprise solutions, particularly Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform.

I have led testing efforts for government and financial institutions, designing test strategies and managing functional, integration, regression, AODA, and automated testing across service-oriented architectures.

I excel at translating business requirements into testable solutions, developing traceable test plans in TestRail and Azure DevOps, and driving defect resolution with Jira and cross-functional teams.

I am meticulous, organized, and committed to accessibility and data integrity, with strong skills in database testing, test automation (Selenium, UFT, RFT), and test data management including data masking with IBM Optim.
