What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA transformation—shift-left, scalable STLC/SDLC, and automation that cuts regression time—while growing high-performing teams and improving delivery predictability through clear defect metrics.

I’m a QA Lead and Practice Lead with 19+ years driving quality across fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, and SaaS. I lead QA operations end to end—from hiring and onboarding to delivery metrics—while continuously raising quality standards.

My core focus is shift-left testing and building STLC/SDLC processes that teams can execute consistently. I’ve taken organizations’ TMMi maturity from Level 1 to Level 3 by standardizing defect metrics, Jira workflows, and reusable test case libraries.

I deliver measurable impact through automation and pipeline redesign. I reduced regression cycle time by 60% using Playwright-based automation frameworks and Maestro, parallelized test pipelines, and rebuilt full suites to increase speed and reliability across 10+ concurrent products.

I also strengthen teams by hiring, onboarding, and scaling QA engineers using structured IDPs and regular evaluations. From requirements generation through release, I embed shift-left practices to reduce late-stage defect discovery and rework cost while improving sprint predictability.
