Senior IT professional with 25+ years in QA and Delivery Management.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned IT professional with over 25 years of leadership experience in Quality Assurance, Delivery Management, and Performance Engineering across global organizations in the US, Europe, and APAC. My hands-on approach has led to proven success in Performance Testing, Test Automation, and the establishment of Centers of Excellence (TCoEs). I have effectively managed large teams of over 200 members, engaged stakeholders, and driven transformative QA initiatives.
Throughout my career, I have excelled in setting up and scaling QA TCoEs, developing performance and automation test strategies, and managing multi-project delivery for large programs. My expertise extends to recruitment, training, and upskilling initiatives, ensuring that teams are equipped with the necessary skills to meet evolving industry demands. I have a strong track record of reducing test cycles significantly through automation frameworks, as demonstrated during my tenure at Deutsche Bank.
As the Head of Delivery at Codeblaze, I lead QA transformation and automation initiatives, focusing on operational efficiency and strategic hiring. My entrepreneurial spirit is reflected in my role as the Founder and Director of Varcos Consulting LLP, where I successfully trained over 500 professionals and achieved 100% client growth through referrals. I am currently seeking opportunities in Principal or Head of QA roles, particularly in product companies, GCCs, or digital engineering setups.
