One of his most significant contributions is the creation of aqua cloud, an AI-powered test management platform designed for complex, regulated environments. The platform addressed challenges related to fragmented toolchains, limited traceability, and inefficient workflows across sectors such as finance, insurance, and public services.

aqua cloud enables centralized management of requirements, test cases, execution, and reporting, while supporting automated compliance and end-to-end traceability. The platform integrates with commonly used enterprise tools and includes AI agents that support test case generation, risk prediction, and regression optimization.

These initiatives delivered measurable outcomes, including up to 40 percent reductions in testing time, improved audit readiness in regulated environments, and faster onboarding of quality assurance teams through structured workflows and an intuitive user experience.
