I'm currently a Senior QA Manager for an AI-powered marketing platform, overseeing quality engineering with a focus on automation, shift-left testing, and pushing delivery cycles closer to true continuous integration. Before this I was Regional Test Manager for the Asia Pacific region for more than 15 yrs, so managing people, process and delivery is second nature to me at this point.
But coding is still my first love, and if anything I code more now than I did a few years back. I've been working hands-on with AI for about 3 years already, one of the early adopters before it became mainstream, and I don't just use AI tools, I integrate them programmatically into real workflows - automation pipelines, agentic applications, intelligent systems that actually do work instead of just answering prompts. Using no-code/low-code AI tools is already basic level for me, what I bring is the ability to build and wire these things together properly using code.
I'm fairly proficient in languages such as Java, Python, JS, and Shell and could work on medium to large projects using these languages. As a QA/test engineer for more than 20 yrs, I've done a fair share of test automation and has developed a number of automation frameworks using popular open source projects such as Selenium, Appium, JMeter and Robot Framework, and have now folded AI into that stack as well (things like AI-assisted test failure analysis and smarter code review for MRs).
I also used to run a smallish web hosting outfit for more than 10yrs which has helped me a lot in keeping my Linux administration skills updated with practical experience in the wild wide web so to speak.
As I love to write code, I have learned a number of programming languages other than the ones already listed above, and has finished personal projects that interests me (including dabbling in VR game dev).
I'm looking for full time work now, but wouldn't say no to part time gigs either if it's the right fit. Either way I'm looking forward to putting my love of tech (and AI) to good use.
