Who I Am

Quality as a Competitive Advantage

I don't just find bugs — I architect systems that prevent them, and now I build AI agents that redefine how testing happens.

I'm a GenAI-powered QA Lead with 8+ years of enterprise test automation, European regulatory compliance, and distributed team leadership.

At Domino's Pizza Enterprises, I pioneered GenAI QA agent infrastructure from the ground up — cutting manual test-authoring by ~40% per sprint while enforcing WCAG 2.1 AA, EN 301 549, and GDPR-aligned data governance across 30+ country storefronts in Europe, ANZ, and APAC.

Before that, at Solve.Care, I built a 10-engineer QA function from scratch in the blockchain healthcare space — delivering IEC 62304-compliant testing on a live patient-facing platform with near-zero defect escape rate.

I'm now open to senior QA architect, automation lead, or AI-augmented testing roles at companies where quality engineering drives product velocity.
