About

Quality starts at the
architecture level.

Most software teams treat quality as a testing phase. I've spent 8+ years proving it works better as a shared engineering discipline — embedded into requirements, system design, integrations, and user journeys before a single line of test code is written.

I partner with product, engineering, and design to ensure reliability is built in — not bolted on at the end.

My experience spans AI-powered workflow automation platforms, agentic orchestration frameworks, fintech and insurance products, event-driven architectures, and distributed backend systems across four industries.

Afiniti 2026 – Present
Senior SDET Engineer (AI)

Leading quality engineering for an AI-powered conversation intelligence platform built on distributed microservices and agentic orchestration workflows.

Built AI validation framework across 3 orchestration modules from greenfield
  • Established QA strategy and automation architecture for a new AI orchestration system
  • Designed agent validation scenarios using both real and synthetic interaction datasets
  • Validated distributed workflows — retries, state handoff, and fault recovery paths
  • Developed end-to-end simulations via Genesys Emulation Lab to mirror production load
Beam AI 2024 – 2026
QA Lead

Owned quality strategy for a no-code AI workflow automation platform enabling businesses to build and deploy intelligent agents at scale.

Reduced manual test cycles ~35% by introducing AI-assisted testing workflows
  • Defined end-to-end quality strategy and automation roadmap for the platform
  • Tested AI agent reasoning, decision-making outputs, and behavioral consistency
  • Validated complex event-driven integrations across 10+ third-party connectors
  • Ensured billing and usage system correctness through rigorous data validation
Finlex GmbH 2022 – 2024
Senior Software QA Engineer

Contributed to quality of commercial and industrial insurance platforms serving enterprise customers across European markets.

Achieved ~90% automated regression coverage across core insurance workflows
  • Built BDD automation frameworks with Cypress and Cucumber from scratch
  • Implemented API testing strategies across critical insurance integrations
  • Led regression, smoke, and UAT initiatives for major product releases
Hyperdata Computing 2019 – 2022
Software QA Engineer

Worked on digital evidence and asset management platforms used in secure, high-compliance environments requiring strong data integrity standards.

Maintained full traceability and coverage across all release cycles
  • Tested secure media processing, ingestion workflows, and chain-of-custody integrity
  • Validated APIs and storage pipelines against compliance and correctness requirements
Independent Work

Projects

End-to-end systems designed, built, and shipped independently — from architecture to production.

Helix GO

A full-stack petrol station finder — real-time pricing, crowd intelligence, and routing — built with Flutter and a Node.js microservices backend.

Key Engineering Decisions
Designed a composite ranking algorithm that scores stations by distance (40%), price (35%), crowd level (15%), and queue length (10%) — returning the single optimal stop, not a generic list.
Built a microservices architecture with five independently deployable services — station, discovery, crowd, price-history, user — coordinated through an API gateway with JWT auth and rate limiting.
Implemented real-time crowd enrichment using Promise.allSettled so crowd and pricing data enrich station results in parallel without blocking discovery on partial failures.
Architected a national price history API that aggregates per-station records by calendar day, computes moving averages, and derives trend direction — powering the 7-day price chart.
Built a ThemeExtension system in Flutter with 12 semantic color tokens and full light/dark support — every widget reads from a single source of truth via context.appColors.
Station details screen generates brand-aware mock data (fuel types, engine oils, services) derived from station name heuristics — designed to be swapped for real API data once the backend schema is extended.
