Salve Festa Dies Performance

“Salve Festa Dies,” performed live by Violet at St. Joan of Arc Church (Las Vegas, May 21, 2025).
Captured in DSD 5.6MHz with a 4-channel array for pure, true-to-life fidelity.

With a live-to-2-track approach and 8-channel recording, I capture performances in their purest, most authentic form.

MUSIC PRODUCTION

Exploring Sound Beyond Boundaries

Alongside my recording and technical work, I also create original music. My tracks move between the raw energy of underground techno, driven by industrial textures and a darker, hypnotic edge with spiritual deep bass compositions that fuse trap kicks, heavy 808s, mystical vocals, and organic instruments. Together, these projects reflect an esoteric, experimental approach to music that blends the physical with the transcendent.

SOFTWARE QA

Automation for Reliability & Growth

Proven experience leading QA for SaaS and high-traffic platforms, ensuring scale, speed, and zero downtime.

Work History & Impact

For over 12+ years I built QA strategies that ensure software is stable, scalable, and ready for real-world demand. From automation frameworks and API testing to performance validation and CI/CD integration, every layer is designed to shorten release cycles and reduce defects. With experience leading QA for SaaS and high-traffic platforms, I deliver reliability under pressure while keeping systems fast, secure, and ready to perform when it matters most.

  • QA Automation Frameworks
    Custom frameworks built with Selenium, Cypress, and Postman

  • API & Load Testing
    Simulated millions of calls per second to ensure stability under pressure

  • Regression Acceleration
    Reduced test cycles from weeks to days with automated coverage

  • Defect Reduction
    Lowered defect leakage by 40% through scalable test strategies

  • Performance & Scalability Testing
    JMeter, LoadRunner, and Gatling for peak reliability

  • CI/CD Integration
    Seamless QA in Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Kubernetes pipelines

  • Uptime Assurance
    Maintained 99.9% platform stability during high-traffic events

  • Executive Reporting
    Clear dashboards on coverage, defect trends, and release readiness


At William Hill, I directed multi-regional QA teams for high-traffic sports betting systems, ensuring stability for platforms processing millions of API calls per second. I increased test coverage by 65%, cut regression cycles from weeks to days, and reduced defect leakage by 40% while ensuring 99.9% uptime during peak events.


At Station Casinos, I built and scaled the company’s first-ever automation framework, transforming QA practices across multiple enterprise platforms. This increased regression coverage by 70%, reduced manual test cycles by 50%, and cut sprint rollover defects by 35%, while mentoring engineers into senior roles and improving team retention.


At Cambridge Leadership Group, I designed and implemented QA processes for internal SaaS platforms, APIs, and CRM integrations that supported global leadership programs. By introducing automated checks and dashboards, I improved scalability and ensured zero downtime for international clients, while also leading UX initiatives that boosted adoption and retention by 20%.

From startups to enterprise, my focus has always been the same: scalable frameworks, faster releases, fewer defects, and reliability under pressure.
