About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Quality Engineer and QA Analyst with approximately 10 years of experience delivering exploratory, functional, integration, API, mobile, and end-to-end testing across regulated enterprise environments.

I have supported major organisations including Amazon Prime Video Financial Systems, NHS England, National Savings & Investments, NHS Digital, and Capital One. My domain experience spans payments, banking, wealth management, healthcare, SaaS, and financial platforms.

I specialise in risk-based and charter-based exploratory testing, API validation, SQL data verification, defect investigation, and production incident root-cause analysis. I am experienced in analysing JSON, XML, YAML, system logs, backend data, and service-layer integrations.

I work effectively in Agile Scrum, BDD, and Kanban delivery environments, collaborating with product owners, developers, automation engineers, clinicians, suppliers, and business stakeholders. I translate exploratory findings into meaningful regression coverage and support quality gates through release readiness activities.

I have hands-on experience with Playwright, Selenium, Postman, SOAPUI, SQL, Jira, ALM, Splunk, TestRail, and Azure DevOps. I am particularly motivated by identifying unscripted edge cases, race conditions, data-mapping defects, and integration failures before they reach production.

I hold Indefinite Leave to Remain with unrestricted UK right to work and am available immediately. I am open to hybrid roles in London and remote opportunities.
