Hi, I'm
13 years building quality-first software — designing test automation frameworks, cloud-native CI/CD quality gates, and AI-first engineering workflows. Leading QE at a London fintech.
I'm a Lead Quality Engineer and SDET with 13 years in software testing and automation, including 4+ years in the UK. As the first QE hire at a high-growth London fintech, I built the company-wide Quality Engineering function — vision, governance, strategy and automation platform — from the ground up.
I design UI, API and database automation frameworks from scratch with tools like Playwright, WebdriverIO, Cypress, Selenium and Rest Assured, and I'm a strong programmer in Java (9+ years, Oracle certified) and JavaScript/Node.js. I build cloud-native CI/CD quality gates on AWS that run impacted tests on every pull request, and operate a nightly regression of 5,000+ end-to-end tests that finishes in under two hours.
I'm an AI-first engineer — I work daily with Claude Code and enterprise GitHub Copilot, building custom agents and MCP integrations for test authoring, coverage analysis and Agile workflows. In my own time I build full-stack AI side projects, from RAG chatbots to a modern HR SaaS platform, to push the limits of applied AI.
