What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and build healthy cross-functional QA teams, define automation strategy within product delivery cycles, and deliver reliable releases in fast-paced Agile environments.

At Cognizant, I lead end-to-end onboarding workflow testing and coordinate a six-member cross-functional team to deliver stable releases across multiple sprints. I build Playwright automation in JavaScript, Selenium regression suites in Java, CI/CD for core EOI application flows.

I've reduced manual testing effort by 50% with Playwright and Selenium-based regression automation and daily manual testing by 90% through API and Jenkins smoke testing.
