Who I Am
I am not just a tester; I am a Quality Systems Designer. With over 12 years in the domain, I bridge the gap between development and operations, treating testing as a first-class engineering problem.
From architecting frameworks from scratch at American Express to leading cross-functional teams at Credit Suisse and HSBC, my focus is on observability, speed, and reliability.
