What I'm looking for

I seek senior QA roles where I can lead automation-first quality programs, embed QA in CI/CD/Agile, mentor teams, and deliver measurable reliability improvements.

I am a Senior QA leader with 12+ years of experience in insurance and financial services, leading QA strategy, automation, and Agile delivery for multimillion-dollar modernization programs. I have a proven record of improving release predictability, reducing UAT defects, and cutting rework through automation-ready regression packs, governance, and metrics-driven QA.

I specialize in embedding QA into CI/CD and SAFe/Agile teams, building dashboards and playbooks adopted enterprise-wide, and mentoring distributed teams. My hands-on technical toolkit includes Selenium, Cypress, API/Postman, SQL, Jenkins, GitHub, and Azure DevOps, enabling measurable quality gains across Policy Administration, Billing, and Claims systems.
