Signature initiative
EPOS Test Engineering Leadership
At EPOS I coordinated a 19-person hybrid QA organisation that supported multiple flagship device lines, strengthening release gates while keeping the team aligned across locations.
Release gate discipline
Rebuilt quality gates for embedded firmware and companion apps, ensuring every launch hit the bar without last-minute scrambles and giving teams space to make thoughtful trade-offs.
Team enablement
Provided mentoring, coaching, and leadership coverage for four on-site test leads and the wider remote team so expectations stayed clear, decisions were considered, and growth paths remained active.
Resource coordination
Balanced on-site and remote staffing, aligning 19 testers with product priorities and keeping communication tight with the dedicated automation lead so everyone felt heard and equipped to deliver.
EPOS trusted me with line responsibility for multiple test leads and a sizable remote QA group. My first job was making sure everyone understood their role in release preparation, had space to ask questions, and that communication loops were running smoothly.
Together with product and engineering stakeholders, we tightened release gates so every firmware and companion app launch had clear evidence before go/no-go calls, allowing the team to back their recommendations with confidence.
I kept my availability high for soundboard conversations, encouraged the leads to test their ideas in a trusted space, and made sure each decision was well-rounded. The result was a supportive environment that still held a high bar for the releases we owned.
