I’m a results-driven QA professional with 15+ years of hands-on testing across web, mobile, and cloud-native microservices. I’ve led QA organizations at Atlassian, Yandex, and other tech teams, designing scalable test strategies, building robust automation, and shaping quality culture in fast-moving environments. I thrive on mentoring engineers, collaborating with product and SRE teams, and delivering reliable software at scale. I enjoy building strong QA foundations—test architecture, CI/CD integration, and cross-team collaboration—while remaining hands-on when needed. I’m open to hybrid or remote roles in Sydney or Australia, where I can help teams ship high-quality software and continue growing a world-class QA organization.
