Years Experience

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

I’m a Product Manager and SDET with more than 10 years of experience across product strategy, front-end development, test automation, and agile delivery.

I started my career as a front-end developer, building and optimising web applications using JavaScript, React, and modern frameworks. That hands-on technical background still shapes how I work today. I stay close to users, close to engineering teams, and focus on practical solutions that can actually be delivered.

At IBM, I moved into quality engineering and agile leadership, where I implemented end-to-end automation strategies and supported teams as a Scrum Master. This experience strengthened my ability to balance delivery speed with reliability, technical quality, and long-term maintainability.

In more recent roles, I’ve worked as a Product Manager and Digital Solutions Manager for organisations including Bupa Dental Care and SGS. I’ve owned product roadmaps, aligned stakeholders, led engineering teams, and introduced automation and testing practices that improved release confidence and delivery speed.

Alongside my hands-on experience, I hold Professional Scrum Product Owner, Professional Scrum Master, and PRINCE2 Agile certifications. These help me combine long-term product thinking with realistic delivery planning and team execution.

I’m comfortable working as a Product Manager, Delivery Manager, SDET, or in hybrid roles where product, engineering, and quality overlap. My focus is always the same: build the right product and make sure it works reliably in production.

Product Strategy &
Roadmaps

I define clear product strategies and turn business goals into practical, prioritised roadmaps. I work closely with stakeholders, engineers, and users to align vision with delivery. Using feedback, metrics, and research, I guide decisions that balance user value, technical feasibility, and commercial outcomes. My approach combines hands-on product ownership with agile practices backed by PSPO and PRINCE2 Agile certifications.

Technical Product Ownership

I bridge the gap between business, design, and engineering. With a background in front-end development and SDET practices, I can shape requirements, validate technical solutions, and ensure quality throughout the delivery process. This reduces miscommunication, speeds up development, and results in more stable, user-focused products.

Agile Delivery &
Team Leadership

I lead cross-functional teams through the full product lifecycle, from discovery to release. I write clear user stories with testable acceptance criteria, manage backlogs, and facilitate sprint planning and reviews. With experience as a Scrum Master and Product Owner, I remove blockers, improve delivery workflows, and help teams ship reliable, high-quality products faster.

Testing & Defect Management

I perform thorough exploratory testing to uncover usability issues, edge cases, and hidden defects across web and mobile applications. I document and triage issues in tools like Jira, working closely with developers to prioritise fixes and verify resolutions. This approach improves release quality, reduces production issues, and strengthens user trust.

Test Automation

I design and build end-to-end automated test suites that increase release confidence and reduce manual regression effort. I automate critical user flows, cross-browser scenarios, and API validations. This helps teams move faster while maintaining stability and consistent product quality.
