Director of Quality Engineering
Quality leadership at scale.
22+ years leading quality engineering strategy across fintech, banking, and enterprise— building high-performing QA teams, AI-augmented delivery pipelines, and the culture that lets organisations ship with confidence.
Directing quality strategy that organisations can actually measure.
22+ years building and leading quality engineering functions— setting the strategy, hiring and growing teams, implementing DORA metrics that stick, and deploying AI-augmented pipelines that cut defect escape rates.
Today I channel that experience into open frameworks, mentorship, and coaching that help QA leaders and their organisations level up.
AI-Powered Testing
Multi-agent systems for test automation using Playwright, MCP, and LLMs. Practical reliability over self-healing buzzwords.
LLM Evaluation Pipelines
Building evaluation pipelines for RAG systems using DeepEval. Prompt regression testing integrated into CI/CD.
Release & Reliability
Release management, incident response, observability, and DORA metrics wired into how teams actually work.
Engineering Coaching
ICAgile-certified coaching (ICP-ACC, ICP-ATF) and 1:1 mentorship for engineers, leads, and managers.
22 years. Multiple stacks. One north star.
From trading system reliability at JP Morgan to AI-augmented engineering at enterprise scale—the tools evolve, the engineering principles don't.
