About Michael Cummings

I’m passionate about uncovering challenges in software quality, particularly in the Fintech space, and solving them through robust testing methodologies and modern technology. For over a decade, I’ve specialized in leading software quality assurance efforts, ensuring high-performance delivery in complex, high-stakes environments. My focus has been on creating, scaling, and optimizing QA processes that contribute to exceptional software quality and business success. Throughout my career in Fintech, I’ve led testing efforts for major projects like the ISO 20022 initiative, where my team and I ensured system compliance and supported the processing of over payments, valued at $1.81 trillion. I take pride in developing comprehensive test plans, reducing defect leakage by 90%, and ensuring flawless software execution in high-impact scenarios. I embrace challenges and remain calm under pressure. I’m dedicated to making high-quality decisions that drive impactful outcomes.
