About

Quality engineered with care.

I help teams ship software that customers can trust. Over the past eight years, I've built and led automation programs across enterprise domains — from telecommunications to global retail — and I care as much about the health of a team as the health of a regression suite.

Today my focus is on scalable Selenium & API frameworks, CI/CD quality gates, cloud validation, and using AI to make everyday testing faster and sharper.
