About

For over a decade, I’ve led Quality Engineering organizations through transformation, building automation first, data-driven, and AI ready systems that scale with engineering velocity. My focus is on creating intelligent quality platforms that accelerate delivery, improve predictability, and empower teams to ship faster with confidence. At Shutterfly, I built automation across all customer-facing platforms and full CI/CD pipelines that replaced manual testing with continuous >90% automated validation. This included hands-on quality verification of physical consumer products, designing and automating tests against specific printer hardware and manufacturing-line configurations at our production facility. Earlier at Deluxe, I unified post-acquisition QA teams, modernized infrastructure, and embedded DevOps and analytics into every stage of release. Today, my work centers on the next frontier: AI-assisted testing, predictive quality intelligence, and self-healing validation frameworks, pushing quality engineering from reactive support to proactive innovation.
