I am an Engineering Project and QA Manager with more than 15 years of experience leading project management, quality assurance, and digital transformation initiatives.
I have built and improved QA processes for remote engineering teams, with hands-on experience in test automation, bug pipeline management, incident triage, and delivery optimization.
My background combines technical leadership and operational ownership. I have worked across Agile transformation, compliance, and process improvement, helping teams increase coverage, reduce regressions, and improve delivery metrics.
I also have strong experience in AI-enabled automation and modern SaaS delivery, including work with LLM-based workflows, prompt governance, and automated testing.
Throughout my career, I have led multidisciplinary teams, supported stakeholder communication, and managed projects in regulated environments such as FinTech, e-commerce, and digital transformation.
I am comfortable working remotely, collaborating with distributed teams, and driving structured execution across engineering, QA, and operations.
I am open to roles where I can combine project leadership, quality strategy, and technical problem-solving to improve product delivery and team performance.
