What I'm looking for

I want to lead QA for products shipping fast and safely—building cross-functional quality partnerships, expanding automation (Playwright/Appium), and applying AI-driven testing to reduce manual regression while improving release readiness and lowering production defects.

I’m a QA Lead with 10+ years of Quality Engineering experience, focused on scaling high-performing teams and delivering quality across complex mobile and web applications. I build multi-skilled QA teams from the ground up and set up processes that keep releases predictable even under high-stakes, time-critical deadlines.

At Mapsted Technologies, I lead full-cycle QA by combining structured pre-development gap analysis with risk-based testing and proactive scenario planning. I improved test scenario readiness upfront (~80%), reduced rework, and helped minimize defect leakage through early identification of risks, edge cases, and cross-application impacts.

I’m also driving QA transformation with AI: I integrated AI tools (Claude AI, Gemini, Notebook LLM) to accelerate test case generation and documentation. This enabled ~70% reduction in test case creation effort for new features and ~50% for legacy systems, while I apply targeted manual validation for complex cross-feature scenarios beyond AI coverage.

On the automation side, I initiated Playwright with TypeScript for web test automation and evaluated Appium for mobile automation to reduce manual regression effort by up to 80%. I partner closely with Product, Project Management, Development, R&D, Operations, Marketing, and Customer Success to remove bottlenecks, improve release quality, and keep production defects down—while staying transparent and communicator-first with stakeholders and clients.
