At CARFAX Canada, I lead QA delivery across functional, API, automation, and performance testing, coordinating test strategy, regression coverage, quality risks, and release readiness. I also manage and mentor co-op QA team members who report directly to me.

I drive Azure performance-testing programs and KQL dashboards to provide actionable quality and performance reporting. My work also includes vendor integration validation, defect triage, and root-cause investigation.

At Optimus Information India Pvt. Ltd., I led and mentored a team of 8 QA analysts, coordinating workload and delivery while supporting day-to-day QA execution. I developed Selenium-based test automation and managed the defect lifecycle through JIRA.

At Aristocrat Technologies India Pvt. Ltd., I led QA and technical delivery for gaming and casino software, including test design, automation, and hardware testing. I also developed Python automation scripts in PyCharm to validate game values and expected results.
