Message

At Telesure Investment Holdings, I’m refining the automation test strategy and overseeing the adoption and scaling of automation and performance testing frameworks within CI/CD pipelines. I also evaluate advanced testing approaches and mentor QA Engineers.

Previously, at B2Wise, Woolworths, and Home Choice, I developed test strategies and processes, integrated automated tests into CI/CD, and managed test delivery. At Momentum Metropolitan Holdings, I led the automation strategy and supported testing for products intended to roll out to more countries.
