I bring this calm, focused approach into my projects—promoting clarity, communication, and thoughtful decision-making under pressure. Key Strengths: • Agile QA Leadership & Test Strategy • API Testing (SME) • Agile Delivery (Scrum & PRINCE2) • Team Coaching & Cross-Functional Collaboration • Continuous Improvement & Quality Culture Let’s connect if you’re passionate about quality, agile transformation, or just want to talk tech and yoga.
