At RealityMine, I delivered QA coverage for 23 cross-platform applications used by clients including Facebook, Disney and Netflix. I tested more than 75 new features and identified 3x more defects than any other department member.

As Lead QA Engineer at OpenBB, I tested its open-source investment research platform and wrote a smoke and regression script covering registration, onboarding, account linking and subscription checkout. I also designed a self-hosted AI agent workflow connecting ClickUp, GitHub and Claude Code, with human-only merges.
