What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can lead teams to deliver high-quality software solutions while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

I am a seasoned Software Delivery & QA Leader with over 20 years of experience in Agile software development and SaaS product delivery. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence in technology quality assurance, where I have successfully led numerous software development projects while ensuring compliance and optimizing QA strategies.

One of my key achievements includes the successful launch of the MarkersPro SaaS product, where I played a pivotal role in building a scalable platform from concept to launch. I have a proven track record of reducing testing cycles by 50% through QA automation and streamlining workflows, which has significantly enhanced product quality and release cycles.

My leadership extends to building highly efficient cross-functional teams and implementing cost-saving strategies that optimize cloud infrastructure and automate deployment processes. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with stakeholders to drive product success and enhance customer satisfaction.
