What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can own end-to-end quality—driving rigorous UAT, risk assessments, and regression validation in Agile—and partner cross-functionally to prevent production defects and improve delivery confidence.

I’m a Senior Software Quality Assurance Engineer with 8+ years of experience in manual and automated testing across multiple industries. I focus on functional, regression, and API testing, with strong test planning, execution, and defect management.

I review business and technical requirements to define test conditions, then derive and execute test cases aligned to test strategies across the SDLC/STLC under Agile/Scrum. I use Jira for defect reporting, and partner with cross-functional teams to ensure quality delivery—while owning production quality and risk management through UAT and pre-deployment validation.

I’ve strengthened release confidence by implementing rigorous pre-deployment UAT and risk assessments, and I’ve supported zero critical defects in multiple production releases through proactive regression/sanity testing. Early in my career, I also combined QA with UI/UX by creating wireframes/prototypes and contributing to usability improvements for healthcare applications.
