What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA and AI testing with strong governance—driving risk-based quality, ISO/IEC 42001-aligned audit readiness, and measurable defect reduction. I’m open to QA Lead/QA Manager/AI Testing Lead roles, including remote & global work.

I’m a Senior QA Lead with 14+ years delivering quality across enterprise platforms in Insurance P&C, one of the most compliance-intensive industries. I lead risk-based test strategy that drives measurable outcomes, including reducing production defects by 30% across concurrent Agile releases.

I’m also an ISO/IEC 42001 certified Lead Auditor, and I bring that governance mindset directly into AI testing. I’ve already validated LLM-based AI systems by assessing hallucination risk, accuracy risk, and compliance readiness, and I built reusable AI validation frameworks aligned with ISO/IEC 42001—improving audit readiness by 40%.

On delivery, I govern 50+ release cycles end-to-end, leading a 10-member QA team with 50+ stakeholders while ensuring release readiness. I’ve ensured 99% data accuracy across 1M+ records by designing multi-level validation controls for Power BI analytics platforms supporting Insurance P&C reporting compliance.

Earlier, I owned end-to-end QA for mission-critical industrial software and high-traffic eCommerce platforms, aligning test strategy and risk mitigation with operational and release requirements. I continue to apply that same rigor through AI governance and validation work, from LLM meeting summaries and AI agents to SAFE insurance data platform governance for 25+ insurers.
