What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on roles combining QA leadership and cybersecurity work—pen testing, secure design, automation, and compliance—in collaborative, growth-focused teams.

I am a highly accomplished QA leader with 17 years of experience architecting, managing, and executing comprehensive manual and automated testing strategies across software and hardware domains. I have led high-performing teams, implemented and administered JIRA at an admin level, ensured SOX and CE compliance, and delivered end-to-end validation for real-time embedded medical systems including Bluetooth Low Energy integrations.

Currently I am expanding into cybersecurity through intensive practical training in penetration testing, vulnerability enumeration, privilege escalation, cloud security concepts, and automation with Python. I combine deep IT and QA expertise, hands-on security tooling (Metasploit, Wireshark, Burp Suite), and a history of driving process improvements to strengthen product quality and security posture.
