Available to hire
I’m Phil Moncel, a QA/BA professional with over two decades of experience driving quality across complex software products in banking, pharma, e-commerce, and government. I combine hands-on testing, requirements management, and risk-based approaches to help teams release reliable software while keeping pace with business needs. I’ve led QA initiatives across local and offshore teams and across multiple regulatory contexts, always focusing on clear communication and measurable quality.
I enjoy building scalable QA processes, leading cross-functional teams, and mentoring colleagues. I’m passionate about automation (Selenium, Appium, Playwright) and data integrity, and I thrive in multinational settings where collaboration and practical results matter most.
