Resume

My goal is to help companies and organisations achieve higher quality, better profitability, and improved customer satisfaction through structured requirements engineering and systematic testing of their products. I can also assist with analyses of existing workflows to identify and map areas for improvement within the organisation.

As a trainer, I strive to use discussions and practical exercises to build understanding of the profession and inspire new ways of thinking.

I am a curious and creative problem-solver who works with focus and precision. Agile teamwork comes naturally to me, as does the desire for continuous learning and development.
