Founding Partner
Built an AI-native test automation framework designed to unify UI, API and database testing within a single reusable architecture. The framework was created for engineering and QA teams that needed faster test creation, lower maintenance overhead and scalable automation across different applications and environments. I led the product and QA architecture, including its automation model, developer experience and AI-assisted testing capabilities.
- Co-founded and shaped the product vision, architecture and technical direction of the automation framework;
- Designed a unified automation architecture for UI, API and database testing;
- Built reusable Java-based testing components using Selenium, REST Assured, JUnit and database integrations;
- Introduced a fluent automation model that simplified test creation and reduced duplicated framework code;
- Implemented reusable authentication, API validation, test-data storage and retry mechanisms;
- Designed Maven archetypes that generated ready-to-use automation projects for different testing needs;
- Integrated automated execution with GitHub Actions, parallel test execution and Allure reporting;
- Built workflows that transformed Jira-labelled requirements into automated engineering tasks through GitHub Actions and AI coding agents;
- Introduced AI-assisted test generation and self-healing concepts to reduce automation maintenance;
- worked directly with developers and QA engineers to continuously improve usability, scalability and framework quality.
Founding Partner
Built a repository-aware AI engineering platform designed to improve how coding agents perform on real software projects. The system evaluated AI-generated engineering work against project-specific requirements, identified weaknesses, optimized agent behaviour and used successful engineering sessions to continuously improve future results. I helped shape the product architecture, evaluation model and multi-agent workflows behind the evaluate–optimize–fine-tune cycle.
- co-designed the architecture and technical direction of the AI engineering platform;
- built repository-aware evaluation workflows for measuring AI coding-agent performance;
- designed weighted quality checks covering correctness, implementation quality, execution time and token usage;
- created multi-agent workflows that analysed failed evaluations and assigned specialised AI agents to fix individual problems;
- built automated evaluate–optimize–re-evaluate pipelines using Claude Code and custom agentic workflows;
- designed repository-specific AI skills that taught coding agents project architecture, internal frameworks, conventions and implementation patterns;
- implemented workflows for generating structured datasets from successful AI engineering sessions;
- contributed to an LLM tuning pipeline that used validated engineering interactions to improve model behaviour for specific codebases;
- designed prompt strategies, agent roles and guardrails to improve consistency and reduce unnecessary AI interactions;
- integrated AI evaluation into autonomous software-engineering workflows and CI/CD processes;
- tested and benchmarked different AI configurations to measure improvements in engineering quality and efficiency;
- created technical demonstrations and product workflows showing how AI agents could move from generic coding assistance toward repository-specific engineering autonomy.
Senior Test Consultant
Worked across enterprise digital products and data-driven platforms, supporting complex systems with multiple integrations, APIs, databases and external data sources. My role focused on defining the QA approach, architecture and development of testing framework, validating end-to-end business flows and data accuracy, and improving how quality was managed across teams and releases.
- Led the testing process end-to-end, ensuring reliability and continuous improvement of testing practices through in-depth process analysis.
- Achieved 92% test automation coverage, cutting regression testing time by 88% and accelerating release cycles.
- Redesigned defect resolution workflows, reducing turnaround time by 50% and improving sprint velocity.
- Designed a CI/CD monitoring process and strategy for each environment.
- Defined and continuously monitored project quality KPIs across 5 test environments on a 3-week release cadence.
- Technically led and directly managed a QA team of 20 engineers, including hiring and performance reviews.
- Managed vendor and third-party technical relationships within a matrix organization.
Lead Software Quality Assurance Engineer
Worked on web-based software products and enterprise applications with complex business workflows, integrations and customer-facing functionality. I was responsible for quality across the development lifecycle, from requirements analysis and test design to automation, release validation and production support, while also leading QA activities within the team.
- Led QA activities across multiple software projects and releases;
- Defined testing strategies, test scenarios and regression coverage;
- Performed functional, non-functional, integration, API, database and end-to-end testing;
- Designed and maintained automated regression tests for critical business workflows;
- Validated integrations between internal systems and third-party services;
- Analysed requirements and identified functional, technical and usability risks early in development;
- Collaborated closely with developers, product managers and business stakeholders throughout the delivery lifecycle;
- Investigated complex defects and supported root-cause analysis and production issue resolution;
- Managed defect reporting, prioritization and release-quality assessment;
- Mentored QA engineers and supported the growth of testing practices within the team;
- Improved QA processes, documentation and test coverage across projects;
- Owned company-wide QA policy and strategy, defining ways of working and leading the overall QA vision.
- Developed testing frameworks and defined coding standards.
- Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines, cutting deployment time by 60% and increasing release frequency.
- Managed cloud test environments and associated test data.
- Led technical interviews and hired QA engineers, building the team from the ground up.
