• Driving testing strategies for Azure Cloud services and Kubernetes-based environments

• Ensuring traceability from requirements to tests to evidence, guaranteeing audit-readiness for safety, cybersecurity, and regulatory use cases

• Leading and mentoring V&V automation engineers, fostering technical growth and high performance

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to facilitate smooth verification and delivery

• Driving continuous improvement through process refinements, technology adoption, and return-of-experience analysis
