How I work

I join from the design stage, alongside Product and Development, so the whole team ships the same thing.

Quality from the start

Risks surface while they are still cheap to fix.

Automation that scales

Stable E2E suites in Playwright and Cypress.

Quality in the pipeline

Tests on every change, with fast feedback.

Automation and manual

I automate the repetitive and explore what matters.

APIs, data and load

Postman, SQL, MongoDB and k6.

Continuous improvement

Processes measured and refined with Six Sigma.

Career

10+ years in QA, from functional testing and BDD in business software to technical leadership in automation, pipelines and quality across remote teams.
