At British Telecom, I designed and executed functional and regression tests and tracked JIRA defects through closure. I also onboarded new QA members and created knowledge-transfer documents in Confluence.
At Kaiser Permanente, I managed CRQs in BMC Remedy, reviewed SOX documents, and prepared monthly status reports.
