About

I’m currently open to opportunities as a Senior Automation / QA Lead or Technical Lead, with a focus on automation strategy, AI‑driven testing, and engineering architecture. I currently lead automation across multiple services within a large public sector programme, combining hands‑on engineering with architecture decision-making and AI adoption. My focus is on building scalable, maintainable, and efficient end‑to‑end automation solutions that improve delivery speed and release confidence. I have a strong emphasis on automation architecture and system design, driving framework evolution, tooling strategy, and modern DevOps practices. I also actively champion AI‑assisted engineering, leveraging tools such as GitHub Copilot and Claude to improve productivity and innovation. Earlier in my career, I built Python-based automation solutions and gained experience across delivery, analysis, and project management roles, giving me a well-rounded perspective across the software lifecycle - from requirements through to delivery and optimisation. I’m particularly interested in roles where I can: - Own automation or quality engineering strategy - Contribute to system architecture and design decisions - Leverage AI to improve engineering delivery and efficiency Open to conversations around Automation Lead, Quality Engineering Lead, or AI‑focused engineering roles.
