About

ISTQB-certified Agile QA Manager with 6+ years of experience leading test and release strategy for user-facing digital and IoT products. I build pragmatic, user-first quality systems that prevent defects early and enable predictable, high-impact launches. I also have a learning technologies background, improving LMS solutions and building digital training programs that drive adoption at scale. Alongside my QA leadership, I co-founded Pita Pocket and lead end-to-end delivery from concept to validated MVP: planning, vendor and stakeholder management, process digitization, and execution under real-world constraints. I bring a product mindset, clear communication, and hands-on delivery discipline, with creativity shaped by passion for UX, gaming, and entrepreneurship.
