QUALITY ENGINEERING LEADER

Build confidence into every release, backed by 80% automation coverage.

I design test automation frameworks (Playwright, Selenium, Appium) and AI-augmented QA workflows — using Claude Code, MCP and n8n — that cut regression time and raise release confidence.

Point of view

Quality is not a gate. It is a growth system.

A strong player-coach leader who pairs strategic vision with hands-on technical execution — architecting automation ecosystems that scale with the team, not just the codebase.

“

Build scalable QA teams and robust automation ecosystems that accelerate release velocity without compromising security or stability.
