What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic environment that values quality and innovation, where I can leverage my skills to drive testing excellence and contribute to project success.

I am a results-driven QA Lead with over 12 years of experience in manual and automation testing for web-based applications. I have a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams, owning test strategies, and ensuring high-quality releases in both Agile and Waterfall environments. My expertise lies in designing test strategies, test plans, and coordinating end-to-end testing activities.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed testing efforts for large-scale projects, demonstrating proficiency in functional, non-functional, cross-browser, mobile, API, performance, and database testing. I am well-versed in using industry-standard tools like JIRA, TestRail, Postman, and BrowserStack. My strong communication skills have enabled me to collaborate effectively with clients and team members, ensuring clarity and alignment on project goals.

I am dedicated to promoting productivity, accountability, and high morale within my teams. My ability to quickly adapt to changing environments and my commitment to maintaining high standards have consistently contributed to the successful delivery of quality software products.
