What I'm looking for
I am a Senior QA tester with 8.6 years of experience delivering manual and basic automation testing across Banking, Insurance, Energy & Utilities, and Telecom domains. I have executed end-to-end testing activities—test planning, design, execution, defect reporting—and participated actively in Agile ceremonies.
My background includes testing web applications and RESTful APIs (Postman, Newman), SQL backend validation, and working with test management tools like JIRA, HP ALM, Zephyr and qTest. I have contributed to projects for Charles Schwab, MetLife, Wood Mackenzie and Verizon, improving test coverage, identifying critical defects pre-release and supporting automation script maintenance.
I collaborate closely with product managers and developers, document test artifacts, mentor new resources during onboarding, and prioritize delivering high-quality releases on schedule. I bring a pragmatic focus on functional, regression, API and DB testing to reduce defects and improve customer experience.
