At SIDE (Formerly Pole To Win), I led Compliance QA across Agile projects, managing and mentoring QA teams and defining test strategies for enterprise, web, cloud, and mobile applications. I helped deliver major releases and sprint deployments while improving test coverage from 70% to 95%.

I reduced production defect leakage by 35–40% through risk-based testing, shift-left practices, and proactive defect prevention. I’ve also supported release readiness and go/no-go decisions, and validated static website deployments using Amazon S3 and CloudFront.
