Belgium
I lead Quality Engineering and Test Transformation in complex, high-stakes environments—primarily within Banking, Insurance, and Data-driven platforms. With 20+ years in IT and Deep Experience in Agile, SAFe and DevOps, I help organizations move beyond traditional Testing toward Scalable, Automation-Driven Quality practices that actually Support Delivery. My Focus is simple: 👉 Make Quality a Driver of Speed and Confidence, not a bottleneck. 👉 What I Do: I operate at the intersection of Technology, Business, and Delivery, typically stepping into roles such as: ✔ Agile Test Manager / Quality Engineering Lead ✔ Test Transformation & Automation Lead ✔ Scrum Master / Agile Coach (delivery-focused) I lead from strategy to execution: ✔ Define and implement Test Strategies at Scale ✔ Drive Test Automation & CI/CD adoption ✔ Lead large Testing Programs and Distributed Teams ✔ Coach Teams toward modern Engineering Practices (TDD, shift-left, DevOps) ✔ Align stakeholders across business, IT, and compliance 👉 Where I bring the Most Value: ✔ Core Banking & Financial Systems (Finacle, Avaloq, SOPRA, Payments, AML) ✔ Regulatory & Compliance (GDPR, PSD2, KYC, transaction monitoring) ✔ CRM & Front-office Platforms (Salesforce, Dynamics 365) ✔ Data-intensive systems (APIs, integrations, data platforms) ✔ Large-scale transformations (SAFe, Spotify model) 👉 How I work: ✔ Hands-on when needed, Strategic where it matters ✔ Strong Communicator across technical and non-technical stakeholders ✔ Focused on Delivery, not theory ✔ Known for bringing Structure, Clarity, and Momentum in complex environments 👉 Background: Started as a Developer and Test Automation engineer, evolved into Test Leader, Coach, and Transformation Driver. That technical foundation still shapes how I approach quality today. 💡Let’s connect: I’m open to: ✔ Senior Freelance assignments - though a Career as an Intern does interest me as well ✔ Test Transformation & Quality Leadership roles ✔ Advisory / Coaching engagements If you're working on complex systems where quality, speed, and scale must coexist, we should talk!
