What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement, where I can contribute to user-centric product strategies and enhance overall product quality.

I am a dynamic and results-driven professional transitioning from a QA Manager to a Product Owner, with extensive experience in quality assurance, automation frameworks, and software testing across diverse industries. My proven track record includes implementing robust QA processes, leading cross-functional teams, and driving continuous improvements in product quality.

Throughout my career, I have been adept at coordinating risk management, conducting in-depth root cause analysis, and ensuring comprehensive requirements coverage. I have successfully built and overseen E2E Automation Frameworks and mentored teams on best practices. My collaborative approach with stakeholders has enabled me to deliver high-quality software solutions while managing multiple projects with varying release cycles.

As I look to leverage my technical expertise and leadership capabilities, I am committed to enhancing the overall product development lifecycle and delivering exceptional product quality. I am ready to apply my deep understanding of QA principles to ensure user-centric and market-driven product strategies.
