What I'm looking for

I seek senior QA/Test Manager roles leading large teams and driving QA transformation for enterprise e‑commerce, utilities or WMS programs in Agile, with client-facing ownership of test strategy, metrics and delivery quality.

I am a Test Manager with over 19 years of experience in quality engineering and assurance, leading testing for enterprise and large-scale projects across retail, telecom, airline and consumer goods domains.

I have deep hands-on and leadership expertise in Oracle CC&B, WMS (Manhattan), IBM Sterling (OMS/WCS/WMS), SAP Hybris, Salesforce Lightning and Liferay, and I regularly apply automation (Selenium with Java), Jira and HP ALM to improve delivery quality.

I lead STLC and SDLC activities end-to-end—requirements analysis, test strategy and planning, test design, execution, defect management, metrics and reporting—and have managed teams from small groups up to 40 members while serving as Defect Manager and QA Delivery Manager on global programs.

I work effectively with global stakeholders (US, Europe, APAC), run Agile test practices, build dashboards and KPIs, convert RFPs to engagements, and focus on pragmatic process improvements that reduce risk and deliver measurable quality outcomes.
