Introduction
QA Lead with 10+ years of experience driving product quality, automation adoption, and release reliability in agile product organizations. I currently lead quality initiatives at Qantev (Paris), working closely with leadership, delivery teams, and engineering to improve product quality and client experience in insurance and healthcare platforms. I focus on building quality as a shared responsibility by embedding shift-left practices, defining QA strategy, and establishing scalable automation frameworks. My experience includes designing automation from scratch using Cypress for UI and API testing, building test frameworks, and integrating quality validation into CI/CD pipelines. I have worked across large-scale e-commerce, insurance, telecom, airline, and gaming platforms, developing strong business and domain understanding to ensure reliable and customer-focused software delivery. I enjoy coaching teams, improving testing processes, and helping organizations move from reactive testing to proactive quality engineering.
