What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead quality strategy and high-performing QA teams, scale automation and CI/CD practices, and use AI-driven testing to improve release confidence, delivery speed, and customer outcomes.

I've led QA delivery at Dario Health, Partech, and Publicis Sapient, managing teams of up to 15 engineers and owning release readiness across web, mobile, and API products. My risk-based testing and automation work achieved 90% test coverage, reduced defect escape rates by 40%, and cut regression execution time by 50%.

I build CI/CD-integrated automation frameworks with Java, Selenium, RESTAssured, Appium, and CodeceptJS, while mentoring engineers and aligning quality strategy with product and business outcomes. I'm also applying AI and LLM-based testing to improve test design, requirements review, predictive quality analytics, and release reporting.
