Senior QA Automation AI Engineer
I find the bugs before your users do.
A decade of hunting defects on purpose — across apps, APIs, and the occasional stubborn BLE device. Currently senior QA at a wearables company, owning quality end to end.
Somewhere between the test plan and the coffee machine.
About
The person who asks "but what if…?" in every meeting.
I've been chasing quality for over 20 years — first in photography, then in manufacturing, now in tech. The tools change with every field, but the question never does: why did nobody catch this?
Those years taught me that quality is a team effort. I've worked with very different people in very different contexts — engineers, developers, designers, product managers — and my job has always been getting them to collaborate on the same goal. In software, that's meant testing health apps, medical devices, and the full product suite of a wearables platform — web, mobile, desktop, and the backend behind it all.
Experience in the US
More than just testing.
My software career started in consumer health: apps and connected medical devices built for the US market. That meant both sides of the street — fast-moving consumer products with millions of real users, and regulated, multinational R&D where rigor is non-negotiable.
These days I'm as much an enabler as a tester. As a system integrator, scrum manager, and QA implementor, I scout new tools, introduce them to colleagues, and help teams get set up and running with them.
How I work
Four things I believe about testing.
-
Bugs cluster where assumptions live.
The riskiest code isn't the complex code — it's the code everyone was sure was fine. I start where the team stopped asking questions.
-
Automate the boring, explore the weird.
Regression suites buy me time; exploratory sessions are where I spend it. A machine checks what we expected — a human finds what we didn't.
-
A bug report is a piece of writing.
Reproducible steps, honest severity, zero blame. A good report gets fixed in a day; a vague one gets argued about for a sprint.
-
Quality is a team sport.
I'm not a gate at the end of the pipeline — I'm in the design review asking how we'll know it works. The cheapest bug is the one never written.

Hobbies
Off the clock, still exploring.
-
Cooking
Recipes are just test plans with tastier acceptance criteria.
-
Swimming in the sea
Open water, no lanes, no ticket queue.
-
Long walks
Where the best debugging hunches tend to surface.
