PROFILE

QA Lead · Quality Engineering

I build QA functions and set test strategy for complex, multi-team platforms, across telecom, fintech, e-commerce, events and pharma since 2018.

Based in Cairo, Egypt. Open to QA leadership roles — remote, in the Gulf or in the UK — and ready to relocate. Relocating will require visa sponsorship, which I am actively seeking.

Lead Software QA Engineer at Celfocus · Cairo, Egypt

About

Built a QA function from 0 to 13 engineers, led distributed QA teams across Egypt and India, and define release-readiness criteria that teams use to make the go/no-go call. I use GenAI to speed up test design and analysis, with a person always making the release decision.
