What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end test planning and defect lifecycle management, partner closely with product and engineering, and expand automation (e.g., Cypress) to deliver measurable quality, fast release confidence, and SLA-aligned outcomes.

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 8+ years of experience developing, reviewing, and executing test plans, test cases, and test scripts across functional, regression, integration, and system testing. I drive end-to-end defect lifecycle management—logging, prioritising, tracking, retesting, and closing defects in alignment with SLAs—while coordinating with development, product, and business teams for clear reproducibility and timely resolution.

In my recent roles, I reduced regression cycle effort by 40% by architecting a Cypress automation framework, and delivered zero critical production defects in FinTech integrations by building API test suites in Postman and SQL validation scripts. I also maintained 99.9% payment gateway uptime during peak events, cut post-release production incidents by 35% using BrowserStack cross-device coverage plus LogRocket and UXCam session replay, and supported 5+ simultaneous client projects while upskilling 4 junior QA engineers; earlier, I earned an Amazon SPOT Award for measurable quality improvements in Kindle and Fire Stick testing.
