I'm a QA and Data Quality Analyst with over 20 years of experience in software and database testing across insurance, financial, HCM/Payroll, and retail sectors. I design test plans, manage data migrations, and lead cross-functional teams to deliver robust solutions. I specialize in SQL, ETL, and API testing, with a proven track record of improving testing efficiency and ensuring solid system integrations. I work well in Agile environments with shift-left testing and recently built a website to showcase automated testing with Playwright TypeScript using Visual Studio Code and GitHub. In my career I’ve driven end-to-end QA for complex integrations (Salesforce, SAP S/4HANA, Snowflake), led data quality validation, and collaborated closely with developers, product owners, and vendors to align on requirements and testing strategies. I’m always growing my skills and enjoy applying pragmatic QA practices to deliver high-quality solutions.
