What I do
Quality engineering that
Quality engineering that
ships with confidence.
I build the automation infrastructure, quality gates, and AI assisted workflows that let engineering teams release faster without trading away stability.
AI quality engineering
LLM evaluation, AI assisted documentation testing, and AI driven development workflows built on Claude AI, OpenAI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, MCP, and specification driven practices.
CI/CD quality gates
GitHub Actions gates that surface stability issues early and stop regressions before they move down the pipeline.
Performance & reliability
k6 load testing with production representative workloads, plus observability through server logging and runtime diagnostics.
Quality leadership
QA strategy, release readiness, and risk analysis; leading and mentoring distributed teams of 10 to 20+ engineers.
Approach
Every release earns its way out.
Layered automation runs as a quality gate in CI, so regressions are caught at the cheapest possible stage. Press Run pipeline to watch a release go through.

Experience
Where I've built quality.
From enterprise consulting for airlines and insurers to leading quality engineering for healthcare platforms.
Mar 2025 – Present- Define quality engineering strategy and technical direction across web, API, database, mobile, AI, and integration testing for a healthcare technology platform.
- Design and expand Playwright and TypeScript automation infrastructure supporting hundreds of end to end, smoke, regression, API, and integration scenarios.
- Establish CI/CD quality gates in GitHub Actions to provide earlier feedback on product stability and prevent regressions from progressing through the delivery pipeline.
- Lead automation for complex healthcare workflows including patient management, clinical notes, medications, allergies, diagnoses, wound care, billing related workflows, and AI assisted documentation.
- Drive quality engineering across product areas including DocSense, PDPM, SIFT, Woundcare, Nursing, Outpatient, MIPS, Census, Note Editor, and mobile applications.
- Introduce AI assisted development and quality workflows using Claude AI, OpenAI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, MCP, and specification driven engineering practices.
- Develop performance and load testing strategy using k6 and production representative workload scenarios, while improving observability through server logging and runtime diagnostics.
- Lead and mentor distributed QA engineers and QA leads, providing technical direction, knowledge transfer, automation guidance, and code review.
- Partner with engineering leadership, developers, product teams, and executives on release readiness, risk assessment, production quality, and QA staffing strategy.
