At Synapxe, I led enterprise testing strategy and QE transformation across 55 mission-critical healthcare and corporate applications. I led an 80+ member QE organisation and helped deliver SGD 2.8M+ in annualised savings, 300+ monthly deployments at under 2% change failure, and 80%+ regression automation.

I established release-quality gates and a “Golden Path” benchmark, and scaled continuous testing across CI/CD pipelines. The work saved 2,000+ man-days a year while strengthening production readiness and security testing.

I also moved testing toward AI-augmented quality engineering. Governed AI accelerators cut test-design effort by 60–80%, while ML-based risk scoring and an automated go/no-go Quality Gateway gave leaders a clearer view of release readiness.

At UOB’s TMRW digital bank, I directed a 70-member QE organisation and established a centralised operating model. Automation coverage rose from 0% to 70% in eight months, and release cycles became three times faster.
