01 — about

Quality is not an afterthought

I engineer quality into systems from the ground up — not as a gate at the end, but as a foundation from the start.

With 12+ years across enterprise AI, cloud, and security platforms, I've built automation frameworks from scratch, led full QA lifecycle management, and integrated shift-left testing into CI/CD pipelines that run at scale.

At Zebra Technologies, I engineered Python-based automation frameworks cutting manual effort by 40%, led SBOM validation for EO 14028 compliance, and executed testing across 4 AI-embedded features in Jira/Confluence globally.

I bring both hands-on automation skills (Playwright, Selenium, Robot Framework, BDD/Gherkin) and strategic QA leadership — defining test strategy, mentoring teams, and delivering measurable quality improvements.

Based in Kitchener, ON — open to remote, hybrid, and on-site QA Engineer, Lead, and Manager roles.

What I stand for

🔬
Quality First
Quality is not a phase — it's a mindset embedded from requirements through deployment.
🤖
Automate Everything
If a human is doing it repeatedly, a machine should be doing it. Automation liberates teams to focus on what matters.
🔒
Security by Design
Shift-left security, SBOM validation, and compliance testing baked into every pipeline from day one.
📊
Data-Driven Quality
Every quality decision backed by metrics — coverage, defect density, escape rate, and release health.
🤝
Collaborative Testing
QA doesn't work in isolation. I embed with dev, product, and security teams to build quality together.
🧠
Continuous Learning
AI, new frameworks, emerging tools — staying ahead is part of the job. Always learning, always improving.
