What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values quality and compliance, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am a QA Engineer with over 10 years of experience in delivering reliable software across web, mobile, and backend systems. My expertise lies in helping teams release faster and smarter by reducing risk and eliminating defects early. I have a strong focus on compliance-driven environments, ensuring precision and accountability in every project I undertake.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, such as developing checklists at Schlumberger that reduced failure rates by 5% and modernizing QA scripts at Wells Fargo, which improved test precision by 90%. My commitment to quality has led to 98% test coverage across major product launches and a 40% reduction in production defects at Optum by catching critical issues pre-release. I am passionate about solving problems that affect users and driving business success through quality assurance.
