About

AI QA Manager | Engineering Manager | Technical Project Manager | AI-Enabled Delivery I help engineering teams compress delivery timelines, reduce release risk, and ship with confidence - combining structured delivery management, AI-powered testing, and hands-on experience testing AI products. With a strong background across delivery management, release governance, and cross-functional execution, I have managed QA and delivery functions across product organisations — owning end-to-end project lifecycles, multi-platform releases (Web, Desktop, Mobile, APIs), distributed team coordination, and go/no-go decisions at scale. What makes my approach different — I work with AI from both sides: I use AI to accelerate delivery: 1. Compressed a traditionally 3-4 week delivery effort into 2 days by building an AI-powered release automation framework (Playwright + MCP + Ollama) 2. Reduced release cycle effort by ~30% through AI-driven risk prioritization 3. Applied Gen AI to accelerate release planning, test strategy, test data, and team productivity 4. Built and deployed AI agents for exploratory testing and delivery automation I also test AI products: 1.Owned end-to-end quality and release of an AI Chat Assistant product 2.Understand the unique challenges of testing non-deterministic, AI-driven systems — including prompt validation, response quality, edge case behaviour, and regression across model updates I believe delivery excellence comes from making the right decisions at the right time — with clear visibility into risk, quality, and team capacity. Not from doing more, but from doing what matters. Beyond my core role: 1.Published author on testing and automation transformation 2.Mentor to 15+ QA and engineering professionals via Topmate 3.Regular contributor to engineering and delivery communities on LinkedIn If you are building or scaling a QA or delivery function — or shipping AI products and need someone who understands quality from both sides — let's connect.
