What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement in quality assurance.

I am a seasoned Quality Assurance Analyst with over 10 years of experience in both manual and automated testing within Agile environments. My expertise lies in test planning, automation scripting, API testing, and accessibility compliance. I have a proven track record of improving test coverage, efficiency, and product quality through innovative QA strategies and collaboration with cross-functional teams.

In my recent role as a Test Lead at Payoda, I successfully increased test coverage by 60% by implementing a balanced manual-to-automation testing strategy. I developed reusable automation scripts that enhanced test efficiency by 50% and integrated automated accessibility testing, which reduced build verification time by 35%. My commitment to mentoring junior QA engineers has significantly boosted team productivity, demonstrating my leadership capabilities.

Previously, as a Senior QA at Augusta Hitech, I created and maintained Selenium WebDriver scripts that cut regression testing time by 40%. I also designed REST API test suites for over 100 endpoints, improving integration reliability by 25%. My experience at Tata Consultancy Services further solidified my skills in developing test strategies aligned with business requirements, achieving a 100% defect closure rate pre-release. I am passionate about continuous improvement and fostering a culture of quality in every project I undertake.
