Experienced Test Manager driving QA strategy, automation, and data validation for enterprise and healthcare platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Test Manager with 16+ years leading end-to-end QA strategy, automation, and quality governance for enterprise and healthcare platforms. I focus on building robust regression packs, accelerating automation, and ensuring data accuracy across complex backends.
Throughout my career I established QA frameworks, led stakeholder-facing engagement for issue triage and escalations, and facilitated Agile ceremonies to align QA delivery with business goals. I routinely create executive dashboards to track automation health, defect leakage, and coverage metrics.
My hands-on expertise includes SQL and MongoDB data validation, API and regression testing, and leveraging tools such as Selenium, Playwright, Katalon, and TestCaseStudio to enhance test documentation and efficiency. I have driven measurable improvements including increased data accuracy, reduced environment setup time, and significant reductions in defect leakage.
I am passionate about uplifting code quality through developer collaboration, introducing quality gates and code coverage metrics, and ensuring first-time-right releases via traceability and test governance. I thrive in cross-functional teams delivering high-quality, data-intensive products.
