About

I am a quality-focused professional with 15+ years of experience across Financial Services, Superannuation, and Healthcare. I specialise in defect governance, triage leadership, and QA coordination across complex, multi-system environments.

I have a proven track record in managing end-to-end defect lifecycle across concurrent projects, ensuring data quality, ownership, prioritisation, and timely resolution. My background as a developer helps me drive root-cause analysis, reduce defect leakage, and enhance release quality.
