About

I am a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer with over 17 years of experience supporting web, mobile, and CMS-driven platforms. I have worked across global media, publishing, and entertainment brands, contributing to reliable releases and scalable digital systems in fully remote environments.

My work focuses on structured regression strategy, end-to-end validation, CMS and backend integrations, and modern automation practices using Playwright. I operate independently while collaborating closely with cross-functional teams across different time zones to ensure quality remains embedded throughout the product lifecycle.

Professional Experience

My background spans telecommunications, enterprise systems, digital publishing, and high-traffic consumer platforms. Over the years, I have supported organizations ranging from media brands such as CNN Travel and CNN Arabic to entertainment and ticketing platforms including MGM properties, City of Dreams Macau, and Clockenflap.

Most recently, I have served as one of the primary QA engineers for the People mobile application on iOS and Android. My responsibilities include end-to-end validation across CMS integrations, backend services, feed and signal systems, analytics tracking, push notifications, and release sign-off. I work closely with product managers, frontend engineers, backend teams, and content stakeholders to support stable feature launches and continuous platform improvements.

Throughout my career, I have successfully adapted to working with multiple clients and distributed teams, balancing priorities while maintaining consistent testing standards and release quality.

Technical Focus

Web and CMS Platforms

Experience validating CMS-driven publishing systems including Scene Composer, Drupal, and WordPress. Focused on structured content workflows, publishing validation, frontend rendering integrity, and regression planning within dynamic content ecosystems.

Mobile and Cross-Platform Testing

Hands-on testing using Xcode, TestFlight, Android Studio, physical devices, and cloud-based environments. Validating user journeys, push notifications, analytics events, ATT tracking, and feature releases across iOS and Android platforms.

Automation and Modern Tooling

Designing and executing automated UI test coverage using Playwright to support scalable regression and release confidence. Exploring workflow optimization through Windsurf to improve QA productivity and collaboration. Experienced in automation-aware test design that balances manual exploratory testing with sustainable automation strategies.

Backend and Integrations

API testing and validation using Postman and Swagger. Log inspection and debugging through tools such as Kibana and related observability platforms. Experience validating feed services, signal services, API gateways, and cross-system integrations supporting web and mobile platforms.

Remote Collaboration and Work Style

I have worked remotely for many years across U.S. and international teams, coordinating with engineers, product managers, CMS stakeholders, and operations teams across different time zones. I am comfortable working independently, managing priorities, and maintaining clear documentation to support distributed collaboration.

My approach emphasizes accountability, clarity, and proactive communication, ensuring that quality remains consistent even within fast-paced and evolving environments.

Approach to Quality

I view quality as a system rather than a final checkpoint. My approach centers on early risk identification, structured regression planning, and continuous improvement. By validating workflows, integrations, and edge cases early in the development lifecycle, I help teams ship confidently while maintaining long-term platform reliability.
