What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.

I am a results-driven Software Test Engineer with over 8.8 years of experience in QA leadership and process improvement. My expertise lies in automation testing using tools like Selenium and Cypress, as well as API testing with Postman. I have a strong background in Agile methodologies, collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams in domains such as HCM, GRC, and Data Migration.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led QA teams, developed comprehensive test plans, and executed detailed test cases to ensure the highest quality of software products. My role as a QA Lead at Right Data Labs has allowed me to mentor junior testers and implement innovative testing methodologies that enhance overall efficiency. I am passionate about continuous improvement and have been recognized as a best bug finder at Oracle in 2017 and 2019.

I thrive in dynamic environments and am committed to delivering exceptional results. My goal is to leverage my skills in a challenging role that allows me to contribute to the success of a forward-thinking organization.
