What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end QA strategy for regulated iGaming/Retail products—owning SIT/UAT, defect quality, and release readiness in an Agile environment, while mentoring teams and driving KPI-driven improvements.

I’m a QA Lead with 16 years of experience leading end-to-end Quality Assurance across iGaming and Retail domains, delivering compliant, scalable, and high-quality software solutions. I own QA strategy, test planning, and SIT/UAT execution, with a strong focus on defect lifecycle management, risk-based testing, and release sign-off.

Across my roles at Expleo and Ingenuity Gaming, I’ve led manual testing and “basic knowledge” automation testing using tools like Selenium, PyTest, and Playwright, while driving Agile/Scrum delivery with clear quality gates and stakeholder alignment. I’ve also mentored and managed high-performing QA teams (up to 16 members) with KPI-driven reporting and dashboards, and I reduced defect leakage by ~25% through improved test coverage and reviews.
