About

Quality leadership, end to end.

I've spent my career turning quality into a competitive advantage — from being the first QA hire at an early-stage SaaS company to building a multi-person organization spanning web, mobile, backend, integration, and release functions.

My work sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and program operations: owning production readiness and go/no-go calls, serving as the delivery liaison for international enterprise partners, and guiding platforms through major architectural transitions without losing stability.
