At Citi, I lead Quality Engineering and software testing for enterprise Finance Transformation programs, partnering with global engineering, product, architecture, and business teams on mission-critical financial applications.

I define risk-based test strategies, release validation plans, quality governance, and automation-first practices using Playwright, Selenium, Cucumber, Java, and CI/CD pipelines. I've reduced testing cycle time by 40% and delivered multiple zero-defect production releases by strengthening quality gates and release governance.

I expanded the World Bank engagement QA organization from 1 to 23 engineers and coach teams through automation enablement, technical guidance, and career development. I also improve regulatory reporting, operational risk controls, quality metrics, and release readiness across complex finance platforms.
