About

Seasoned Software Testing Leader with 18+ years of experience advocating for Software Quality across multiple domains. Passionate about building user-first Testing strategies, mentoring teams, and driving excellence in Agile environments. Software Development is creative, but delivering it with Quality takes it one step further. With over 18 years of experience in Software Testing across various domains, including Advertising, Automotive, Aviation, and Inventory, I have learned that Quality is never delivered by fluke; itโ€™s the outcome of conscious, consistent efforts. ๐‡๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ฅ๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ๐ฌ - Blogger at ๐—ค๐—”-๐—ค๐—– ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฎ โœ๏ธ - Author of ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—ณ๐˜๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—–๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜€๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฑ ๐—ฃ๐˜‚๐˜‡๐˜‡๐—น๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐Ÿ“˜ - Advocate of my philosophy: ๐—•๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ ๐—จ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐˜; ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐—ง๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ - Speaker at leading Software Testing conference, podcast & meetup ๐ŸŽค ๐„๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž - Leadership: Mentoring Testing teams & driving Quality culture - Testing: Strategy, Estimation, Design, Execution, & Bug Reporting - Applications: API, Web & Windows | Tools: JIRA, QC, Postman, SoapUI - Agile: Scrum ๐‚๐ž๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ข๐œ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ CTFL (ISTQB) | CSM (Scrum Alliance) | SFC (SCRUMstudy) | CP-MAT (ATA) | TKP (Lean Kanban Inc.)
