I am a QA engineer with 10+ years of experience validating functional behaviour, data accuracy and business correctness of data solutions across insurance, financial services, healthcare and SaaS. I test end to end from data ingestion and transformation through to downstream outputs such as reports, journals and dashboards, ensuring every solution meets business rules and stakeholder expectations. I am people-oriented and sociable by nature, driven by building lasting professional relationships. Before IT I spent six years in business development and operations management, establishing and running multi-site commercial operations, negotiating supplier contracts, and hiring teams of 70+ staff. I do not just manage quality, I deliver it.
