I’m a Software Quality Assurance Lead with 10+ years of experience delivering high-quality software solutions across Banking, Investments, E-commerce, and Payment Gateway domains. I specialize in Accessibility Testing, Functional Testing, API Testing, Mobile Testing, and Test Management, with a strong focus on measurable quality outcomes.

I lead QA efforts across enterprise applications—defining test strategies, managing defects, and ensuring compliance with WCAG 2.1/2.2, MAS, and Section 508. In Agile/Scrum environments, I support sprint planning, defect triage, stakeholder communication, and coordinated execution across teams.

In key engagements, I’ve served as QA Lead and Senior QA Engineer driving accessibility-aligned testing and robust coverage. For Academy Sports + Outdoors (ASO) / Rent A Center (RAC), I created test plans and coverage matrices, executed accessibility testing using Axe and assistive tools, and conducted API testing with Postman—while mentoring teams through knowledge transfer.

I bring a practical, team-first approach to QA leadership. I’m comfortable coordinating with offshore teams, validating cross-browser/device compatibility, and improving efficiency with tools like JIRA, qTest, TFS/ALM, and even AI-powered testing support (including GitHub Copilot) to keep quality cycles fast and effective.
