I’m a QA Lead transforming test strategy, automation, and team performance to deliver faster.
What I'm looking for
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.
