What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA across manual and automation, own test strategy and frameworks in an Agile team, and partner with DevOps to strengthen CI/CD, quality metrics, and security/compliance for US healthcare and fintech products.

I’m a results-driven QA Manager/Senior QA Engineer with over 8 years of experience in Software Quality Assurance, specializing in both Manual and Automation Testing across enterprise applications. I focus on designing and implementing automation frameworks that improve reliability, speed, and coverage.

I’ve led end-to-end testing in Agile environments and built automation using Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Java, and Python. My domain experience spans US Healthcare (Claims, Enrollment, Eligibility, Member/Provider Portals, EHR/EMR, HIPAA-compliant EDI transactions like 837/835/834 and 270/271) as well as FinTech, Core Banking, and ERP—supporting secure, compliant delivery through robust test strategies, API testing, CI/CD integration, and continuous process improvements.

As a leader, I manage defect lifecycle using Jira, monitor QA KPIs (defect leakage, test/automation coverage, release quality), and collaborate closely with Product, Dev, Business Analysts, and DevOps. I also mentor teams and share practical QA knowledge as a QATutor; in one role, I improved test automation coverage from 40% to 85% and reduced regression testing effort by over 60%.
