What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior Software Tester role where I can lead UAT readiness, validate functionality against business requirements, manage defects in Jira/Xray/QC, and partner closely with developers and stakeholders within Agile delivery teams.

I’m a Senior Software Tester with 8+ years of experience in quality assurance, software testing, and systems validation across finance, government, and infrastructure. I specialize in supporting and coordinating User Acceptance Testing (UAT), verifying application functionality against business requirements, and communicating outcomes clearly to stakeholders.

I bring strong grounding in SDLC/STLC and Agile (Scrum) delivery, with hands-on functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end testing. I manage the defect lifecycle end to end using tools like Jira, Xray, and HP Quality Centre (QC), and I support quality through test case execution, reporting, and SOP adherence—backed by ISTQB Foundation and Agile Tester certifications.
