What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration and offers opportunities for growth.

I am an experienced Business Analyst and QA Test Analyst with over 9 years of expertise in software testing and business analysis. My background includes a strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Quality Assurance Life Cycle (QALC), which allows me to effectively bridge the gap between technical teams and business needs. I excel in defining business requirements, performing gap analysis, and documenting both functional and non-functional requirements to support development and testing efforts.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with stakeholders to gather and document project requirements, ensuring alignment with business goals. My proficiency in creating and executing test cases, along with my hands-on experience with tools like JIRA and Selenium IDE, has enabled me to contribute significantly to various projects across multiple industries, including insurance, banking, and telecommunications. I am a proactive team player with strong analytical skills, always seeking opportunities for process improvement and operational efficiency.
