About

I am a Senior QA Automation Lead with 17+ years of experience designing and delivering test automation strategies across global Agile environments. I’m recognised as a strategic quality leader who drives transformation, reduces manual testing effort, and integrates automation into delivery frameworks to improve test efficiency, cut release cycles, and increase product quality. My key strengths include: ◼️ Building and implementing automation strategies and standardising automation frameworks across web, mobile, and API platforms; ◼️ Integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub Actions, BrowserStack, and AWS; ◼️ Leading QA transformations by coaching global teams and mentoring junior engineers; ◼️ Engaging cross-functional stakeholders and product leaders to build a culture of quality; Over my career, I have held roles ranging from Software QA Engineer up to QA Automation Lead, where I led QA strategy, built automation frameworks, and guided global teams. I’ve specialised in transforming manual QA environments into automation cultures using tools such as Selenium, Appium, Playwright, Cypress, Rest Assured, Java, Python, and JavaScript. Currently, I am volunteering as a Testing & Feedback Lead at Epic Test Quest, an AI-powered test management startup, where I help shape product direction and QA tooling.
