I help tech teams implement modern QA & agile practices to deliver high-quality software faster—without sacrificing team morale. Over the last 10+ years, I’ve led QA transformations at companies like Deputy, Wargaming, and Culture Amp, cutting cycle times by as much as 57% while boosting collaboration and engagement.
My Approach combines technical expertise (automation frameworks, exploratory testing, shift-left QA) with people-focused coaching. Whether you need a quick audit and roadmap or hands-on workshops, I’ll tailor the approach to fit your stack and culture. Along the way, I introduce proven methods like pair testing, QA demos, coffee-buddy programs, and agile rituals that unify designers, engineers, and product managers.
Services I Offer:
• QA Audit & Roadmap: I’ll evaluate your current testing setup, identify bottlenecks, and deliver a step-by-step plan to improve coverage, speed, and communication.
• Agile/Delivery Coaching: I’ll help your team refine sprints, adopt lean practices, and break silos so you can release more frequently with fewer bugs.
• Culture & Engagement Workshops: I’ll train your team on the mindset shifts and ceremonies that embed quality from day one, fostering high trust and ownership.
• Test Automation Setup/Review: Need robust automation? I’ll guide your dev/QA teams in setting up or optimizing tools like Cypress, Selenium, or WebdriverIO.
Key Achievements:
• Reduced overall cycle time by 57% at Deputy through lean QA & delivery practices.
• Implemented pair testing at Wargaming, dramatically cutting bug counts and improving dev-tester collaboration.
• Led Pride celebrations, coffee-buddy initiatives, and Toastmasters clubs to boost morale and cross-team bonds.
