QA leader focused on building high-performing teams and quality processes.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a QA leader with extensive experience in building high-performing teams and owning end-to-end quality in Agile environments. My expertise lies in improving coverage, reducing cycle times, and driving release confidence through strategic planning and collaboration. I am passionate about embedding quality early in the development process and mentoring teams for long-term success.
At Reliable Tire Depot, I established and led the QA function, overseeing the hiring and mentorship of a high-performing team. I developed a scalable Cypress framework and integrated CI/CD processes that enabled over 85% automation coverage, significantly reducing manual effort. My focus on shift-left testing and contract testing has strengthened system resilience and improved delivery speed and quality.
Previously, I have worked with organizations like Science37 and JPMorgan Chase, where I owned QA responsibilities and developed robust automation frameworks. My collaborative approach with cross-functional teams has consistently resulted in high-quality deliverables and enhanced audit readiness. I am dedicated to continuous improvement and fostering a culture of quality within teams.
