What I'm looking for

I seek a senior QA/Test Lead role in an Agile environment where I can drive quality, implement automation, mentor teams, and improve testing processes while collaborating closely with cross-functional stakeholders.

I am an ISTQB-certified QA Test Lead and Certified Scrum Master with 10 years' experience leading end-to-end testing for complex software across banking, telecom, health insurance, semiconductor, automotive and mechatronics domains. I specialize in Agile testing, test strategy, process improvement and mentoring teams to adopt automation and best practices that measurably reduce defects and speed time-to-market.

My hands-on background includes test management with HP Quality Center and JIRA, API testing with SoapUI/Postman, UI automation using QTP/UFT and Selenium, and CI-driven regression using tools like Jenkins. I have a proven record of implementing risk-based testing, improving defect detection, and aligning QA with product and development teams to deliver high-quality releases.
