About

🔹 13+ years of experience delivering test automation, CI/CD integration, and engineering quality improvements across telecom and SaaS platforms. I’m passionate about evolving QA into a true engineering discipline — combining automation, AI, and DevOps principles to achieve reliability, velocity, and business impact. At Ooma, I focus on driving automation excellence, enhancing test observability, and building scalable pipelines that align quality engineering with product delivery. My work involves experimenting with AI-assisted testing approaches and modern frameworks that improve coverage and reduce release friction. I enjoy mentoring teams, simplifying complex systems, and connecting technical depth with practical delivery. My approach to leadership is hands-on, data-driven, and collaborative — ensuring every release is faster, smarter, and more predictable. ⚙️ Areas of Strength: • Automation Architecture & DevOps Integration • CI/CD Optimization (Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes) • AI-Augmented Testing Tools (Amazon Q, Playwright MCP) • Test Strategy & Observability • Cross-Functional Collaboration • Cloud QA (AWS, GCP) I believe in continuous learning and applying emerging technologies to improve how software quality is engineered and delivered.
