What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA leadership role where I can own end-to-end data engineering and integration test strategy in cloud environments, drive ETL/ELT validation and automation, and mentor teams across fintech and data domains.

I’m a results-driven QA Engineer Lead with 14+ years of experience spanning dataengineering, API testing, front-end/UI-UX validation, fintech, ERP, and data migration projects. I’m ISTQB-certified and I’ve built a strong record across the software testing lifecycle for Datawarehouse, reports, telco, financial services, identity management, and HR/finance data domains.

Right now, I’m leading cloud-based data engineering test strategy on a Snowflake / Data Vault 2.0 platform (AWS), with ownership of test planning across multiple concurrent projects. I drive ETL/ELT pipeline validation, integration testing, PIImasking/access control UAT, and cross-environment quality (dev/test/prod), while mentoring junior testers and implementing automation where applicable.
