About

I am a QA Engineering Leader with over 14 years of experience transforming testing into a business accelerator across industries such as technology, aviation, retail, and gaming. From developing automation frameworks at scale to leading high-performing QA teams of more than 30 members, my career has been about making quality not just a checkpoint but a culture. Some of my key achievements include reaching over 90% automation coverage using Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Katalon, and Appium, reducing regression cycles by 40%, and decreasing defect leakage by 30% through CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins, GitLab, Docker, and AWS. I have built reusable test frameworks in Java, Python, JavaScript, and Ruby, while championing DevOps, TestOps, and now GenAI-driven testing to ensure faster, smarter, and more reliable releases. What sets me apart is my ability to combine technical expertise with leadership and customer focus. I mentor and develop QA talent, promote collaboration across product and engineering teams, and keep the customer experience at the heart of quality initiatives. I believe in leading by example, remaining hands-on when necessary, and driving innovation to help teams deliver excellence quickly.
