Delivering Reliable Software Through Structured Verification & Validation — for teams building systems where failure isn't an option.
Fifteen-plus years spent proving that software works before it's allowed to matter.
I help engineering teams in high-stakes, tightly regulated industries answer one question with confidence: is this software ready? My career has run through embedded defence systems, satellite Earth-observation platforms, banking and insurance back-ends, energy retail systems and public-sector digital services — environments where an overlooked defect isn't an inconvenience, it's a failure with consequences.
That range is deliberate. Moving between mission-critical and highly regulated domains has sharpened a structured, risk-based approach to Verification & Validation that travels well: I read requirements fast, design test coverage that actually maps to risk, and integrate into Agile and DevOps delivery teams without a ramp-up period. Clients bring me in when quality can't be an afterthought — and when they need someone who can own it from day one.
A flexible service model — from a single UAT cycle to owning the full test strategy for a mission-critical release.
Verifying that every feature behaves exactly as specified, before your users — or your auditors — find out otherwise.
Validating that components, services and third-party systems work together cleanly across the full data and control flow.
Protecting what already works while your team keeps shipping — with coverage that scales as the codebase grows.
Running structured UAT cycles that give business stakeholders real confidence to sign off on a release.
Turning requirements and acceptance criteria into a test plan that's traceable, realistic and ready for audit.
Defining the right level of test rigor for the risk in front of you — no more, no less.
Prioritising test effort where failure would actually hurt — a discipline built directly out of aerospace & defence work.
Owning the full defect lifecycle — triage, tracking, severity classification and closure — so nothing slips through.
Embedding inside Scrum teams as an active participant in planning, daily stand-ups, reviews and retrospectives.
Producing clear, audit-ready test plans, cases and reports for teams working under regulated quality systems.
Direct hands-on experience across regulated and mission-critical sectors — not a generalist's guess at how they work.
No onboarding curve on tooling — coverage across the full test, tracking and CI/CD stack.
Fifteen years across six regulated industries. Open a sector to see the engagements behind it.
The core of my career: embedded, mission-critical software for air defence systems, and satellite Earth-observation data for the European Space Agency. Work here demands test rigor with zero tolerance for ambiguity.
Senior Agile Tester on the re-engineering of a tactical air-defence launch system: test scenario design, functional/integration/regression testing on re-engineered and newly built components, defect traceability in TestRail, Jenkins-based deployment support, JIRA-managed Agile delivery.
Agile testing on embedded command-and-control software for advanced air-defence systems; user-story-based test procedures, daily collaboration with Scrum Master, Product Owner and development team, active contribution to Product and Sprint Backlogs.
Image Processing Analyst on multispectral satellite remote-sensing data: radiometric and geometric pre-processing, georeferencing, orthorectification, and quality control support for Earth Observation products in an international technical environment.
Agile testing across the commercial systems that run retail gas and electricity sales.
Functional, integration and non-regression test plans in SalesUP covering policies, maintenance, commodity and extra-commodity products; configuration verification on Apttus CPQ; active participation in the full Scrum ceremony cycle (Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, Retrospective).
Test coverage across financial and payment systems, from insurance product changes to PCI DSS-compliant point-of-sale software.
Test Manager for a fuel-card payment authorisation system: functional and integration test plans, execution and defect management for oil-company card issuance and payment authorisation flows.
Test case design and requirements management for changes to existing and new insurance products; test execution simulating bank order flows with database-level verification.
Certification, integration and non-regression testing on proprietary POS software compliant with PCI DSS, deployed on external payment terminals at fuel stations.
Testing on next-generation connected-mobility infrastructure.
Test support for a Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) platform covering V2V and V2I scenarios — real-time data exchange between vehicles and road infrastructure, validating features aimed at road safety, traffic optimisation and connected/autonomous driving support.
QA on a licensed, high-transaction-volume online platform.
Agile test planning derived from project requirements; test dataset design and management; functional, non-regression and integration testing; database-level verification; defect lifecycle management; milestone reporting.
Broad IT consulting and system-integration testing across public-facing digital services.
Test plan and user-manual creation and maintenance; functional, non-regression and integration testing; database-level validation; JIRA-managed defect lifecycle.
Remote Agile testing focused on release validation and data-flow verification (Raw-to-Cur and Cur-to-Cur), deploy coordination and defect escalation with the development team.
Functional and integration testing and defect management for the Poste Italiane mobile app and website.
Requirements analysis and test case design for a licence-management system; client-facing UAT execution; front-end and back-end defect tracking.
Functional and integration test design and execution, with full defect management, on a telematics data-acquisition platform.
Productive inside your sprint cycle within days, not weeks — across fifteen different client environments and counting.
Requirements read closely, edge cases anticipated, coverage designed around real risk — not a checklist.
Trained on defence and space programmes, where the standard for "tested" is set higher than almost anywhere else.
A full participant in Scrum ceremonies, not a QA gate bolted on at the end of the sprint.
Documentation and traceability built to hold up under audit, in regulated sectors where that matters.
Works as an embedded partner to developers, Product Owners and Scrum Masters — not an external checkpoint.
Available for freelance engagements and consulting collaborations — remote or on-site across Italy and Europe.
