Module Lead – QA · 8 years breaking software before users do
About me
I own quality from the first requirement to the last release.
Module Lead – QA with 8 years of dedicated QA across OTT/Streaming, Telecom (MVNO), Payment Gateway and Ecommerce. I run end-to-end QA for Web, Android, iOS and back-office portals: requirement analysis, test planning and strategy, UAT, production release and post-release monitoring. I build web UI automation with Playwright, use AI-assisted testing to cut manual effort, and lead off-hours firefighting and war rooms when production needs it.
