About

Quality, end to end

I have spent 12 years in software QA, starting with manual testing and quality engineering, and the last 2 of them in automation with TypeScript and Playwright. Before QA I worked 5 years in telecom, on network performance and IPTV projects, which is where I learned to read a system before testing it.

Most recently I was responsible for end-to-end quality on an enterprise asset-management and B2B e-commerce SaaS platform. That meant test strategy, release scope, quality metrics, defect lifecycle, root cause analysis, and acceptance testing with the people who actually use the product.

I verify systems at every layer, not only through the UI: REST and XML APIs, protocol-level responses and schemas, and the data in SQL behind them. When a client replaced a desktop platform with a web one, I defined the expected behaviour from the old application and checked the new one against it flow by flow.

I also build AI-assisted QA workflows, with LLM agents for test design, SQL and triage, and I review every generated artefact before it is used. Automation speeds things up. It does not get to decide what correct means.

Selected work

Three things I am proud of
01

Proving a migration was safe

A client left a desktop platform for medical equipment sales, diagnostics and service and moved to the web. I defined the expected behaviour from the legacy system, then verified the new platform against it flow by flow, documenting every difference before release.

02

AI agents that survive review

An orchestrator with specialist agents for requirement analysis, test authoring, API testing, database querying and reporting. It cut the time to first draft, and every generated artefact was reviewed before it was trusted.

03

APIs and ERP integrations

Built cXML 1.2 punchout test suites across enterprise ERP integrations, validating protocol responses and schemas rather than HTTP status, and traced the data back into SQL Server and DB2 to prove it landed correctly.
