Freelancer in software testing for over 12+ years in the high tech domain. Helped organizations with test strategies, test architecture, risk based testing and more.
High tech testing
Together with 4 colleges founded High Tech Testing, where we provide SW testing services in the high tech domain.
With over 12 years of experience as a freelance software test expert, I have supported leading companies in the high-tech sector with test strategy, test architecture, risk-based testing, and much more.
My career has evolved from hands-on test execution to test design, extensive test automation across various technologies, and—over the past years—into software test architecture at both system and product levels. I combine a deep strategic understanding with a pragmatic mindset, often stepping in to automate, coach, or guide teams where needed. My experience spans both time & material engagements and outsourced service models.
In addition to my freelance work, I co-founded High Tech Testing—a specialized software testing company—together with four fellow experts.
