What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a product-focused role where I can apply QA automation and AI-assisted workflows to deliver customer-centric features, mentor teams, and drive measurable outcomes.

I am a results-driven IT professional with 13 years of experience blending quality leadership, QA automation, and emerging product management. I partner closely with Product and Engineering to translate business needs into prioritized backlogs, acceptance criteria, and measurable delivery outcomes, and I’ve led automation and API test strategies for enterprise-grade platforms.

I introduced AI-assisted tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity) and Jira automation to boost velocity and reduce reporting time by 30%, mentored junior engineers, and supported high-stakes financial and analytics products. I’m transitioning into a full-time product role to deliver customer-focused solutions and drive results across technical teams.
