Message

At Persistent Systems, I introduced a TDD approach during the in-sprint test cycle and contributed to approximately 95% sprint delivery. I also reduced regression execution time by 70% through automation improvements.

At Wasoko, I architected automation frameworks for API, web, app, and database testing, helping accelerate QA sign-off. I also worked on release planning and SDLC improvements that raised sprint delivery to 67%.

At Samsung Electronics, I worked on S-Health and S-Browser, using data-driven approaches to improve download counts and reduce production bugs. My experience spans quality engineering across e-commerce, automotive, travel, banking, finance, and healthcare.
