What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth in Quality Assurance Management.

I am an experienced QA Lead with over 7 years in product development, release management, and team leadership. My journey has been marked by a commitment to quality and a passion for optimizing processes. I am currently seeking to transition into Quality Assurance Management, where I can leverage my expertise in cross-functional collaboration and technical project execution.

At STAN, I played a pivotal role in scaling the platform from 100K to over 15M users by ensuring stable, high-quality releases through rigorous QA processes. My contributions included reducing app crashes by 40% through automated regression testing and enhancing user retention by over 20% by proactively identifying and resolving critical bugs. I take pride in mentoring my team and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, which has led to significant achievements in our QA efforts.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to lead teams and manage complex projects. My experience at Bluestacks and Cerner Healthcare Solutions has equipped me with a diverse skill set in test automation, performance monitoring, and stakeholder management. I am eager to bring my leadership skills and technical expertise to a new role in Quality Assurance Management, where I can continue to drive quality and innovation.
