@geethagopisetti
Experienced QA lead driving test strategy and quality for large-scale social media products.
What I'm looking for
I am an experienced QA lead with over 9.5 years in quality assurance, specializing in testing and quality leadership for prominent social media platforms.
I have led large QA teams through high-profile initiatives, including Instagram’s major redesign and the independent launch of Threads, ensuring seamless user transitions and on-time delivery.
My work delivered measurable results — a 40% increase in test execution speed, a 20% improvement in defect detection and resolution, and a 30% reduction in post-release issues — while leveraging automation tools, Selenium/WebDriver, Java, Cucumber, SQL, REST/SoapUI, Android Studio/ADB, and Meta’s internal tooling.
I focus on mentoring distributed teams, embedding quality in Agile cycles, and driving continuous improvement; I seek to apply my leadership and technical experience to deliver reliable, privacy-respecting, user-focused products.
