What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA initiatives in agile teams—driving automation with Python, improving test coverage, aligning stakeholders, and delivering high-quality, timely releases with measurable defect reduction.

I’m a QA Lead and automation expert with over 9 years of experience in software testing, using strong analytical and problem-solving skills to enhance software quality. I’ve improved test coverage by 40% through automation tools and have led teams to exceed performance goals while increasing the accuracy of software releases.

As a QA Test Lead at Tata Elxsi (07/2020 - 11/2025), I improved manual testing team efficiency by 30% through collaboration and mentoring. I led agile QA execution that boosted team efficiency by 30% and reduced critical defects by 95%, while performing functional and API testing during the transition to Microservices architecture. I also implemented Python-based automation to reach an 85% release test case execution rate, managed defect reporting and tracking in JIRA, and aligned stakeholders through weekly international meetings.
