What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead QA strategy and automation initiatives in Agile teams, improving test coverage, release confidence, software quality, and collaboration across developers, product owners, and stakeholders.

At Sanaam on the NCGR client account, I lead the Software QA team and delivered end-to-end API automation for the Utility Management project on the Etimad platform. I achieved 100% API test-suite automation coverage and supported a production release with zero critical and zero major production defects.

I've led Agile teams across Solutions by STC, SDAIA's Tawakkalna products, and Vodafone Intelligent Solutions, covering mobile, web, backend, API, regression, integration, and UAT testing. I use Java, Rest Assured, TestNG, Maven, Swagger, Postman, SoapUI, Azure DevOps, TestRail, SQL, and Agile practices to strengthen test coverage, reduce manual effort, and improve release readiness.
