What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA and test automation for payment platforms—owning PCI/3DS quality strategy, building CI/CD pipelines, and working cross-functionally to deliver secure, reliable releases with measurable improvements.

I’m a QA Manager focused on payments quality—building test governance, automation strategy, and end-to-end validation for complex payment ecosystems. I’ve led cross-functional QA and implementation teams, with a strong emphasis on secure, seamless payment experiences across domestic and international card networks.

At PayTabs Global, I oversee and maintain PCI DSS compliance by coordinating with internal and external auditors and ensuring systems meet security standards. I also drive 3D Secure (3DS2) integration and validation—designing and executing test scenarios, collaborating with developers and vendors, and monitoring authentication and transaction verification issues in real time.

Previously at Societe Generale Global Solution Centre, I led a QA team and helped standardize automation framework best practices. I owned projects from requirements through deployment, balancing schedules, scope, budgets, and risk mitigation while staying aligned with client stakeholders and quality/performance standards.

Earlier roles strengthened my QA and delivery foundation through automation test development, defect lifecycle management, test environment readiness, and knowledge sharing. From enterprise automation efforts to web-based automation and virtualization testing in JSystem Framework, I’ve consistently used structured testing to reduce risk and accelerate dependable releases.
