What I'm looking for

I seek senior QA leadership roles where I can own end-to-end QA for multimedia or embedded platforms, mentor distributed teams, drive CI/CD and automation, and deliver reliable global releases in an Agile environment.

I am a Senior QA leader with 20+ years of hands-on experience in Multimedia, OTT, Smart TV, IOT, DTV, STB, IPTV, and embedded systems testing, having owned end-to-end QA for large consumer platforms such as Roku TV, Samsung, Jio and ChargePoint.

I have led distributed QA teams, driven QA strategy and STLC, managed test planning, execution and release sign-off across global markets, and implemented CI/CD, automation support and risk-based testing to deliver high-quality releases.

My technical strengths include system-level testing, media streaming protocols, automation and scripting (Python, Shell, C/C++), test frameworks and tools (Selenium, TestNG, JIRA, Jenkins), and hands-on hardware lab experience; I am focused on mentoring teams, ensuring SLA adherence, and improving product reliability.
