What I'm looking for

I seek a senior Agile role where I can grow into Business Analysis, lead requirement discovery, improve test processes, coach teams, and deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions.

I have over 20 years' experience working in cross-functional Agile teams worldwide as a requirements and test professional, translating designs and client conversations into clear user stories and test plans. I lead backlog management, sprint planning and refinements, and have set up and coached teams on MS Azure DevOps and Agile processes to improve delivery quality and efficiency.

I hold ISTQB foundation and advanced certifications and Certified Scrum Master training, and I bring strong expertise in test automation, UAT coordination, SQL querying and defect analysis. I deliver cost-effective, zero-defect focused processes using tools like JIRA, Confluence, Selenium, UFT, Jenkins, Git and HP-ALM, and I continuously mentor teams to raise testing maturity and product quality.
