Senior QA Analyst leading end-to-end releases and migrations with risk mitigation and process improvement.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior QA role where I can own release readiness and regression risk, lead end-to-end testing for major migrations, mentor teams, and keep improving QA processes with product and engineering.

I’m a Senior QA Analyst with a proven track record of leading QA for major projects, migrations, and end-to-end release cycles. I focus on stability through risk mitigation, clear metrics, and continuous process improvement across cross-functional teams.

At theScore, I led QA across multiple teams spanning Identity (KYC/Sign-ups), Backend Core Services, and Front-End Sports Media App. I managed the full regression progress with daily metrics and flagged risk blockers to protect code complete and code freeze milestones, while delivering successful QA strategy for major platform transitions, including the migration from Barstool Sportsbook to theScore Bet and ESPN Bet.

I also built team capability by designing and leading onboarding sessions for new hires and co-op students, helping foster an autonomous culture through process improvements. Earlier at Dealtap, I designed comprehensive test coverage plans and functional test cases for a digital signing platform and established initial QA culture and documentation standards, supported by my Honours B.A.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo.
