Senior SDET / Acting Lead with experience in AI Quality Engineering, test automation, release strategy, and cross-functional integration testing. At Global Relay, I progressed from Junior SDET to Senior SDET / Acting Lead, working across Identity & Access Management and Artificial Intelligence product areas. I specialize in defining test strategy, improving release readiness, coordinating complex integration testing, mentoring engineers and testers, and building scalable testing practices for enterprise software. In my current AI role, I work with Python, Locust, Playwright, and Codex-driven automation to validate AI features across system, integration, regression, UAT, end-to-end, and non-deterministic behaviour scenarios. Highlights include reducing an AI release process from 3 weeks to 2 weeks, coordinating release planning and testing for 6 net-new AI services/features, conducting 20+ SDET technical interviews, guiding 2 manual testers, and leading test practices across multiple pods. ISTQB Certified Tester – Advanced Level, Test Manager. Interested in Senior SDET, QA Automation Lead, Quality Engineering Lead, and AI Quality Engineering opportunities.
- Lead quality strategy and release readiness for enterprise AI features, covering system, integration, regression, UAT, and end-to-end testing across multiple products. - Coordinate cross-functional integration testing with product, security, mobile, platform, and connector teams, aligning scope, risks, test execution, and release readiness. Preventing security issues that would block development and testing in 2 months. - Lead initiative to build and evolve AI testing tools using Python, Locust, Playwright, and Codex-driven automation, with focus on non-deterministic AI behaviour, prompt quality, and integration reliability. - Guide 2 manual testers on AI quality validation, including onboarding, test design, prioritization, prompt testing, and execution workflows. - Improved GPU resource utilization across environments by leading stakeholder alignment, planning, and execution of a cross-team reallocation effort without disruption, reducing by 50% the waiting times for GPUs and bringing resource utilization from 50% to over 80%
- Perform Acting Lead responsibilities across multiple pods, with test leadership responsibilities since 2023. - Reduced the AI release process timeline from 3 weeks to 2 weeks by clarifying ownership, streamlining communication, and redistributing responsibilities. - Led end-to-end release planning and testing coordination for 6 net-new AI services/features, from estimation and planning through production readiness. - Conducted and co-led 20+ SDET technical interviews across junior, intermediate, and senior levels, while also supporting application reviews and initial interviews. - Mentor engineers and testers through onboarding, pair programming, code reviews, acceptance criteria guidance, reusable documentation, and testing practice workshops.
- Acted as de facto test lead for the pod, coordinating test strategy, planning, and execution across complex identity and platform initiatives. - Led test approaches and designs for several features using combinatorial approaches to keep number of tests at minimum while maintaining coverage. - Pioneered performance testing for Group Automation Services, including test design, execution, analysis, and reporting to identify service improvement areas. - Improved team delivery practices by creating Definitions of Ready/Done, sprint board process flows, acceptance criteria guidance, and reusable testing documentation. - Strengthened backend and frontend testing practices using C# and React, including microservices testing, UI/API testing support, and MFE/BFF testing standards.
