RESUME

Resume

QA Lead with 8+ years building QA functions, test strategy and release readiness for multi-team platforms.

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.
