What I'm looking for

I'm looking to support Agile software delivery by translating business needs into clear requirements, coordinating UAT, validating releases, and partnering with stakeholders and technical teams to improve reliable web, mobile, and enterprise applications.

At Hedgerow Software, I manage end-to-end testing across web, Windows, and mobile applications, creating test strategies, maintaining 200+ Azure DevOps test cases, validating data with SQL Server, and supporting stable releases.

I've also delivered business analysis, requirements documentation, UAT coordination, Selenium automation, production support, and business-process improvements for Olympia Financial Group, Sasol Canada, and public-sector organizations. I bridge business users, product owners, developers, and client services to turn operational needs into clear user stories, acceptance criteria, and validated solutions.
