At Saint Gobain, I work as a Test Lead. Before that, at Dataction Analytics, I led end-to-end QA for the Reed & Mackay corporate travel project, covering flight-booking platforms and the Air board's booking process.

For Reed & Mackay, I handled requirement analysis, test strategy, test case creation, execution, and defect management. I also facilitated Agile ceremonies as an internal Scrum Master and mentored junior QA engineers.

At Grindwell Norton, I worked as a Functional Consultant and QA on the Sekurit Pricing Platform, supporting pricing and costing operations for glass production. I clarified requirements with stakeholders, validated user stories, and created BDD-format JIRA stories.

Earlier, at Adapty Solutions Pvt. Ltd., I tested The Vitamin Shoppe e-commerce application, including functional, regression, integration, UAT, and API testing. I hold PSM I, ISTQB Foundation Level, and ISTQB Agile Tester (Advanced) certifications.
