I architect enterprise quality platforms, CI/CD governance frameworks, and reliability engineering systems that enable high-velocity delivery at scale. 15+ years leading automation strategy, performance engineering, and platform modernization across distributed systems.
I've spent 15+ years building and leading quality engineering organizations for enterprise software platforms. My work spans automation architecture, performance engineering, and CI/CD pipeline governance across distributed systems and microservices environments. I establish testing standards, drive tooling strategy, and align quality practices with business velocity goals. Recent focus includes platform modernization initiatives, cross-functional quality ownership models, and reliability engineering at scale. I've led teams through major technology transitions, significantly reduced release cycle times and built reusable frameworks adopted across multiple product lines, and built reusable frameworks adopted across multiple product lines.

Core Expertise & Value Proposition
Automation Architecture
Enterprise test frameworks spanning UI, API, and microservices with reusable component libraries and cross-team governance standards.
Performance Engineering
Load testing, capacity planning, and production monitoring integrated into CI/CD pipelines to validate SLA compliance.
Platform Modernization
Legacy test suite migration, tooling strategy, and developer productivity improvements through modern frameworks and practices.
CI/CD Quality Gates
Automated validation checkpoints across build pipelines ensuring release readiness and reducing production defects.
Team Leadership
Building and coaching SDET teams, establishing quality standards, and aligning engineering practices with business objectives.
Quality engineering is most effective when embedded early, measured continuously, and aligned with business velocity. I build systems and teams that make quality a shared responsibility, not a final checkpoint.
Professional Experience
15+ years leading quality engineering initiatives across enterprise platforms, government systems, and financial services.
