I’m a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer with 25 years of experience spanning software, hardware, and web QA, IT operations, and process improvement. I specialize in bridging technical precision with user experience—testing complex multi-platform software and streamlining QA workflows through Python-based automation.

When routine Smoke and Sanity checks consumed much of each test cycle, I automated about 15 of the highest-value cases using Python scripts that interfaced with a proprietary C#-based platform. This reduced overall testing time by roughly 50–60% and expanded coverage by around 30%, resulting in faster, more consistent build validation and freeing time for deeper exploratory QA.

I’ve collaborated closely with cross-functional teams in hybrid Agile environments to ensure reliable, accessible software within FDA / ISO 13485 frameworks. Earlier, I managed IT operations and asset lifecycles across regional offices, building expertise in data security, encryption, and PCI DSS testing. I’m known for mentoring colleagues, creating structure out of ambiguity, and driving continuous improvement in QA processes to deliver dependable, user-focused software.
