I build and lead QA functions, automation frameworks, and reliable enterprise releases across complex migrations.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
15 years in quality engineering — from writing the first test script to building QA functions from the ground up and leading cross functional teams across complex enterprise environments.
At Unity, I led SIT & UAT across 6 concurrent CRM and ERP migrations with ownership across design, testing, sign off & hypercare phases. Also delivered a self-healing Playwright/TypeScript framework adopted across 3 teams, and brought on-time delivery from ∼75% to∼100% in 12 months. At Twinner, built the QA team and practice from scratch. Hired, mentored and grew a team of 8 FTE’s & interns, cut regression cycle time from 18 to 10 hours, and enabled daily releases. At Software AG, I evaluated and drove org-wide adoption of UFT, cutting licensing costs by∼80% across 6–8 teams.
