What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA engineering and automation architecture—owning CI/CD quality gates, cloud-based test execution, and performance validation. I want to grow teams, improve release velocity, and cut defects through scalable frameworks and mentoring.

I’m a QA Engineering Leader with 18 years of experience architecting enterprise-scale automation frameworks and building high-performing QA teams. I translate complex business requirements into scalable quality strategies that improve release confidence.

I’ve led end-to-end test automation using Python/pytest/Playwright and Java-Selenium/Appium across eCommerce, Digital Identity, Real Estate, and cryptocurrency asset management. At 3Pillar Global, I reduced manual regression effort by 80%+ and improved defect outcomes by integrating gate-based quality enforcement.

I’m deeply focused on CI/CD and cloud-based testing—driving continuous testing with AWS CodePipeline and GitHub, and enabling parallel execution with AWS DeviceFarm and SauceLabs (50+ browser/device combinations). I also lead performance testing with K6 and Grafana Cloud to identify throughput bottlenecks before release.

I enjoy scaling teams and capabilities—mentoring engineers, building automation learning roadmaps, and expanding low-code adoption (Mabl, ACCELQ) so more stakeholders can contribute to quality. My goal is simple: dependable delivery, faster feedback, and fewer production defects.
