What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior QA role where I can lead test planning and UAT, validate APIs/mobile releases, and drive continuous improvement through data-driven quality metrics and strong cross-functional collaboration.

I’m a highly experienced, results-driven Senior Quality Assurance Analyst with 15+ years in SaaS, cloud technologies, and mobile application testing across Android/iOS. I bring a proven ability to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders through clear communication, detailed documentation, and presentations.

I specialize in Agile and Waterfall methodologies, writing detailed test plans from requirements, and supporting end-to-end releases through the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC). I lead cross-functional collaboration to prevent defects early—partnering with Product Owners to shape design decisions—and I’m known for proactive, complex problem solving and gap analysis.

Across my roles, I’ve improved production support and product quality by reducing production support 28%, accelerating root-cause analysis by 35%, lowering release risk 25%, and strengthening operational quality by 15%. I validate backend reliability using API functional/regression testing (Postman) and strengthen reliability and security through SSO/MFA validation; I also optimize coverage using resource allocation across U.S. and offshore teams, along with test tooling like JIRA and Azure DevOps (ADO).
