Professional Summary
Software Engineer passionate about quality assurance with expertise in leading QA teams, creating comprehensive test strategies, and implementing shift-left testing methodologies. Specializes in both manual and automated testing approaches.
I lead Quality Assurance with a focus on building confidence in software through smart testing, automation, and collaboration. Over the years I’ve worked hands-on with tools and frameworks like Cypress and REST API automation while also driving bigger initiatives like test reporting, design thinking practices, and agile delivery as a certified Scrum Master.
To keep my skills sharp and forward-looking, I’ve added certifications in Artificial Intelligence for Software Developers and Microsoft Azure AI Fundamentals. These let me bring modern AI perspectives into QA strategy, whether it’s smarter test automation or identifying risks earlier in the pipeline.
I believe quality is more than catching bugs — it’s about enabling teams to deliver products users can trust. My leadership training has helped me mentor testers, align with developers, and communicate clearly with stakeholders so QA is seen as a partner, not a checkpoint.
