What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote opportunities where I can strengthen quality across banking, payments, and integrated digital platforms through manual, API, integration, regression, and release testing.

At Sterling Bank Holdings, I test web, mobile, API, and integrated digital platforms across banking, payments, CRM, and core banking systems. I validate transaction flows, balances, customer information, payment visibility, and release readiness across customer-facing and internal products.

I use Postman, Azure DevOps, Jira, and TestRail to design test cases, execute regression suites, manage defects, validate APIs, and maintain clear QA evidence and release documentation. My stronger exploratory and regression coverage reduced post-release defects by 30% and improved QA documentation and onboarding efficiency by 25%.

I’ve also translated business needs into requirements, user stories, acceptance expectations, and release priorities as a Technical Product Manager. I coordinate UAT, production follow-up, and post-launch validation with engineering, operations, business, and external development teams.

Earlier in my career, I led digital adoption initiatives, trained more than 3,000 MSMEs, and supported customer experience operations. I bring a practical understanding of users, operational workflows, and quality across digital financial products.
