QA Lead building test automation that accelerates releases and reduces defects.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a QA Lead with 8+ years of progressive experience in test automation, quality engineering, and team leadership across web, mobile, and API platforms. I currently lead a team of 7 QA engineers across 3-4 concurrent projects, helping teams ship with confidence.
I introduced a Playwright-based automation framework from scratch, architecting a modular Page Object Model with custom reporting. This work reduced regression testing time by 40% and helped establish quality gates and a clear definition-of-done criteria across product teams, cutting defect leakage to production by 30% in the first quarter.
I build and mentor high-performing QA teams, align testing strategy with business objectives, and drive shift-left quality by embedding QA in design reviews and sprint planning. I also set up real-time quality metrics dashboards using Grafana and Kibana, and partner with product managers, engineering leads, and stakeholders to define acceptance criteria, risk-based test strategies, and release readiness.
