About

QA Engineering Lead based in London, ON — 6+ years and 100+ production releases owning quality for a platform serving 50M+ users. Started in games QA at Keywords Studios shipping AAA titles like Fall Guys, then moved into enterprise platform engineering at Sagacity Software where I now lead release strategy end-to-end.

The short version: I build the automation that makes regressions cheap and incidents rare, then I sweat the details everyone else skips.

PHILOSOPHY.MD

Zero production incidents in 18 months — not because the code was perfect, but because the questions asked at staging were. The happy path is the easy part; edge cases are where bugs hide and where good QA earns its keep.

Flaky tests are bugs in their own right. I don't retry them. I find the root cause — timing, selector, shared state — and fix it. Trust nothing, verify behavior, and never let "it works on my machine" close a ticket.

HOW_I_WORK.MD

90% reduction in regression cycle time — days down to minutes — by building automation infrastructure from scratch rather than tacking suites onto fragile setups. I own the release pipeline through to production: staging validation, deploy gating, post-deploy observability.

Day-to-day I'm in Java + Selenium for the existing suite, Playwright for new work, Docker for parallelism, and Grafana for the dashboards that tell me when something silent has gone wrong.

AI_FAMILIARITY.MD

This site is shipped with Claude Code in the loop — spec-driven, reviewed like a PR from a junior engineer, never merged on vibes. I use it for test scaffolding, refactor proposals, and rubber-ducking edge cases I'd otherwise miss.

The rule I work by: AI accelerates the boring parts of QA. It does not replace the judgement call about what's worth testing or what "done" really means.
