What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values quality, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for growth in QA practices.

I am a QA Solutions Architect with over 9 years of experience leading end-to-end cross-functional teams in various domains, including SaaS, BFSI, airlines, logistics, and retail. My expertise lies in creating custom QA solutions, leading remote QA teams, and ensuring on-time, high-quality releases. I have successfully designed QA strategies for complex automation platforms and have a proven track record of delivering 100% on-time deployments.

Throughout my career, I have managed the full test lifecycle, from planning and execution to defect tracking and sign-off. I have participated in Agile ceremonies and collaborated closely with stakeholders to maintain traceability between testing strategies and quality requirements. My commitment to quality is reflected in my ability to resolve blocker issues efficiently and facilitate defect triage sessions, achieving a 95% resolution rate within SLA.
