Program Director, Product & Quality Engineering | GenAI-Enabled Transformation Coach | Agile & Compliance Strategist | Trusted by innovators in Fintech, Healthtech, Media, Hospitality & SaaS | PMP In-Progress

I believe quality isn’t a phase—it’s a promise. I’m an Executive QA & Risk Leader with 15+ years of experience boosting release velocity by up to 60%, cutting defect leakage to <0.5%, and passing every SOX & HIPAA audit—all while coaching teams to embrace GenAI and shift-left thinking. I empower large-scale Fintech, Healthtech, Media, Hospitality, and SaaS teams to scale testing with compliance, AI, and speed, while aligning QA with business and regulatory goals. ✅ Built a GenAI test-data engine → 90% faster setup, 40% more edge-case coverage ✅ Directed 350+ teams at Northwestern Mutual through defect management overhaul → 35% productivity lift ✅ Scaled a 40-engineer mobile QA org at WebMD → 0 compliance issues across 3 years ✅ Unified QA strategy across 5 Agile squads at American Water → 25% boost in test efficiency ✅ Delivered monthly QA risk reports with Product & Compliance → avoided $1M+ in rework & penalties My strengths lie in balancing technical rigor, Agile leadership, and regulatory discipline. I thrive on leading with clarity, mentoring future QA leaders, and enabling organizations to scale with confidence. Outside of work, I love traveling and exploring cultures—it fuels my curiosity and perspective. I also volunteer as a photographer for family events and mentor those early in their QA journey. Giving back keeps me grounded and connected. Let’s connect if you need QA that accelerates delivery and satisfies regulators. #QualityEngineering #AgileLeadership #SOXCompliance #HIPAA #TestAutomation #DevOps #QAOps #RiskManagement #MobileTesting #QALeadership #Jenkins #EngineeringExcellence
