What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can own end-to-end STLC, enforce quality gates, and deliver stakeholder-ready test metrics—while expanding into cloud-native, identity-governed environments and mentoring teams.

I’m a QA Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience across manual testing, functional testing, regression testing, system testing, and UAT for enterprise web and mobile applications in BFSI and IT services. I own end-to-end STLC and work closely with SDLC activities—from test planning and test case design to defect reporting and release sign-off.

At Wipro, I’ve led QA delivery end-to-end across 15+ enterprise web and mobile applications, reducing post-release defect leakage by 30% versus the previous quarter baseline. I apply Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) and Equivalence Partitioning (EP) to maximize coverage with minimal redundancy, and I use Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) to keep requirement-to-test alignment tight and measurable.

As a QA Engineer (Senior), I managed 500+ test cases in Zephyr within JIRA across 3 simultaneous projects, maintaining traceability from requirements to execution results. I validated cross-browser behavior and Android/iOS functional parity, performed Oracle DB testing for data integrity, and reduced average defect resolution time by 40% through structured severity/priority classification and disciplined defect lifecycle management.

Now I’m extending QA into cloud-native, identity-governed environments with cloud and security certifications across AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle, and Saviynt (IGA). I’m also pursuing M.Tech (Software Systems) and thrive on mentoring, QA quality gates, and stakeholder-ready test metrics that drive faster, safer releases.
