Summary
Marko Zivkovic is a senior engineering and delivery transformation executive with 12+ years of experience modernizing quality, delivery, and AI-augmented SDLCs across complex web, mobile, data, and API ecosystems. He specializes in turning fragmented engineering practices into predictable, measurable delivery systems by combining enterprise QA governance, automation at scale, and AI-driven validation and predictive quality analytics. As a hands-on leader rather than a coder, he’s accountable for system-level validation, cross-team readiness, and executive-facing risk visibility—having led global QA at Oracle MICROS and scaled seven QA divisions at Shift4. Currently advising and building AI-native delivery models as an independent consultant and Sr. QE Manager, he blends technical judgment with operating-model design to reduce release risk and accelerate flow. A practical innovator, he often embeds early quality signals and agent-assisted workflows into engineering pipelines to make quality a continuous, data-driven capability rather than a gate.
