01 / About

A short introduction.

I help teams ship with confidence. My background spans hands-on quality assurance, API and frontend automation, and leading people and priorities through release cycles.

I progressed from QA Engineer to QA Lead and QA Manager, building on an earlier career in IT operations and technical support. I use AI thoughtfully to develop and maintain tests, investigate failures, and improve QA workflows. Based in Slovenia, I am an EU citizen open to international and remote opportunities.
