Senior Software Quality Engineer
10+ years shipping high-visibility releases and protecting platform integrity across mobile, desktop, TV, wearable, and AR. I turn ambiguous issues into actionable evidence — fast.
Full-spectrum quality engineering
Risk-based testing
Deep defect reproduction and high-signal diagnostics — structured evidence that engineering teams can triage, reproduce, and fix.
Multi-platform coverage
iPhone, Mac, Apple TV, Watch, and Vision Pro — quality validation across the full Apple platform stack.
Trust & Safety
Policy enforcement, technical investigations, and privacy/network compliance — where quality meets integrity.
Performance & graphics
Xcode Instruments, GPU frame capture, and CLI profiling to catch regressions before they reach users.
Tooling & automation
Python, PyTest, and custom workflows that cut cycle time, improve log capture, and scale QA teams.
Escalation & incident response
The connective tissue between engineering, program teams, and external developers when a launch is at risk — translating technical blockers into decisions that move.
Where I move the needle
Leading high-visibility releases
DRI on go/no-go decisions, driving launch readiness and aligning stakeholders on risk across engineering and program teams.
Coaching and leveling up teams
Runbooks, best practices, and hands-on mentoring — including interns and new hires — that raise the quality bar across the whole team.
High-fidelity debugging artifacts
Xcode/CLI diagnostics, proxy traffic inspection, and performance profiling that give engineering teams everything they need to fix fast.
Cross-functional unblocking
Where a launch stalls, I find the real constraint — pulling in the right people and driving to resolution before the schedule slips.
Self-serve workflows that scale
Automation and tooling that reduce friction, eliminate repeat work, and let QA teams scale their impact without adding headcount.
Core capabilities
Multi-Platform Quality Engineering
End-to-end QA across iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and visionOS — the breadth of platform coverage and third-party compatibility testing that keeps a full OS ecosystem shippable.
Performance & Graphics Testing
GPU profiling, frame analysis, and real-time performance validation using Xcode Instruments and Metal tooling — identifying regressions before they compound downstream.
Technical Investigation
Reverse engineering and traffic inspection to identify fraud, policy violations, and platform integrity issues — with executive-level reporting for legal and senior stakeholders.
Gaming QA & Compliance
Compliance and performance testing for games across mobile, desktop, and TV platforms. Actionable developer feedback that shortens iteration cycles and raises quality standards.
Developer Relations & Technical Communication
Bridging third-party developers and core engineering — translating platform requirements into clear guidance and turning developer feedback into product decisions.
Launch Readiness & Risk Management
Coordinating the moving parts of a major launch — tracking open issues, sequencing sign-offs, and keeping engineering, program management, and external developers in sync.
QA Tooling & Data Analysis
Designing test workflows, automation pipelines, and data dashboards that surface signal faster, reduce cycle time, and give teams a clearer picture of quality at every stage.
What I'm building toward
Automation
Python & PyTest depth
Expanding automation coverage, improving test architecture, and building reusable fixtures for faster regression cycles.
Certification
ISTQB Foundation (CTFL)
Formalizing test methodology knowledge with ISTQB certification to complement 10+ years of hands-on expertise.
AI Tooling
Local LLM & Claude integration
Exploring AI-accelerated debugging, test design, and workflow automation — including building Claude Code skills.
