See the risk early
Turn requirements into questions, examples and useful checks before assumptions become defects.

Make quality

THE PRACTICE01 - 03
Good quality
is a team habit.
I start with the customer and the risk, then build quality into the work itself. That means clear expectations before code, fast feedback while it is changing, and evidence that gives a team a sound release decision.
Make quality shared
Give product, engineering and QA clear ownership, a workable test strategy and feedback in the delivery flow.
Prove readiness
Use risk-based coverage, production signals and real test evidence to make release decisions with confidence.

HOW I LEAD
Build the system.
Grow the people.
I have built quality functions from zero, hired and mentored QA and engineering leaders, and helped teams take responsibility for quality together. At scale, I have led 34 engineers and hired 40+ across QA, software and engineering management.
My work spans exploratory and API testing, Playwright automation, CI quality gates, incident response, team metrics, and testing AI products where results are not deterministic. The tools matter less than the learning and decision they make possible.
