What I Do

Quality Engineering & Testing

I design and lead quality strategies across complex enterprise systems, focusing on risk-based testing, functional, API, and automation practices to ensure reliable and scalable software.

QA Leadership & Delivery

I lead distributed QA teams, align quality goals with business objectives, and ensure on-time delivery through clear communication, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Digital Safety Advocacy

Through my educational initiative, I create content to help families understand digital risks and promote safer, more responsible use of technology—especially for children.

Responsible Technology & AI

I’m deeply interested in how AI and emerging technologies can be applied responsibly, using quality practices to reduce risk, improve trust, and protect end users.
