What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, Agile team role where I can lead QA efforts, expand automation and performance testing, mentor engineers, and ensure high data integrity and compliance.

I am a results-driven Senior QA Engineer with five years of experience in backend validation, API testing (Postman), and performance optimization (JMeter). I have extensive experience in U.S. healthcare products and medical intelligence applications, where I audit relational schemas with SQL to ensure data integrity and compliance.

I excel in Agile environments, synthesizing BRDs into test plans and RTMs, leading end-to-end testing, and mentoring junior engineers. I improve test efficiency through automation (Selenium, TestNG), implement load testing to address bottlenecks, and lead UAT to secure stakeholder sign-off.
