Years Experience

Build right features. Make them work perfectly. Every time.

I’m a Product Manager and Senior SDET with more than a decade of experience across product strategy, front-end development, automation, and agile delivery.

I began my career as a front-end developer, building and optimising web applications using JavaScript, React, and modern frameworks. This hands-on technical foundation has shaped how I approach product management: close to the user, close to the engineering team, and focused on practical, deliverable solutions.

At IBM, I moved into quality engineering and agile leadership, implementing end-to-end automation strategies and supporting teams as a Scrum Master. This experience strengthened my understanding of how to balance delivery speed with reliability and long-term maintainability.

In more recent roles, I’ve worked as a Product Manager and Digital Solutions Manager for organisations such as Bupa Dental Care and SGS. I’ve owned product roadmaps, aligned stakeholders, led engineering teams, and introduced automation strategies to improve reliability and delivery speed.

My product work is supported by formal agile training, including Professional Scrum Product Owner, Professional Scrum Master, and PRINCE2 Agile certifications. This allows me to balance long-term product thinking with practical delivery constraints.

I’m comfortable operating as a Product Manager, a Senior SDET, or in a hybrid role where both perspectives are needed. My focus is always the same: build the right product, and make sure it works reliably in production.

Product Strategy and
Roadmaps

I have defined and delivered product roadmaps across healthcare and enterprise platforms. I translated business goals into clear, prioritised backlogs and worked closely with stakeholders, engineers, and end users to ensure alignment. I used feedback, metrics, and research to guide product decisions and applied agile product practices supported by my PSPO and PRINCE2 Agile certifications.

& Exploratory Quality Assurance

Exploratory Testing Expertise: Conducted in-depth manual exploratory testing to uncover hidden defects, usability issues, and edge cases in web and mobile applications, ensuring comprehensive coverage beyond scripted scenarios. Defect Management & Reporting: Identified, documented, and triaged bugs using tools like Jira, collaborating with development teams to prioritize fixes and verify resolutions, resulting in higher-quality releases and reduced post-launch issues.
