With over 17 years of dedicated experience in Software Quality Assurance, I have a proven track record of success as both a QA manager and an individual contributor. My journey in the tech industry has been marked by growth, innovation, and leadership, with a strong focus on Agile and Scrum methodologies. I thrive on designing and implementing effective QA processes, building and leading high-performing teams, and driving results that matter. My career has been defined by a commitment to excellence, a knack for risk mitigation, and a passion for continuous improvement.

I've had the privilege of leading and mentoring teams, navigating organizational restructures, and achieving remarkable outcomes, such as reducing bug reports to less than 1%, expanding device coverage, and streamlining onboarding processes. My ability to foster collaboration between cross-functional teams, implement automation, and maintain a laser focus on quality has been instrumental in achieving these milestones.

Throughout my journey, I've stayed at the forefront of industry tools and practices, from Xcode and Android Studio to JIRA and TestRail. I've been a key contributor to the success of prominent organizations like NETGEAR, Scribd, and Netpulse, and I'm ready to bring my expertise, strategic thinking, and leadership skills to the next challenge.

If you're seeking a Senior Mobile QA Manager who can make an immediate impact, drive quality improvements, and lead teams to success in a dynamic environment, I'm ready to connect and explore how I can contribute to your organization's goals.
