What I'm looking for

I’m looking to help teams deliver high-quality releases by owning test strategy, manual and automation coverage for UI/API, and reliable defect triage and release validation—ideally with Agile teams where I can also mentor and improve QA processes.

I’m a Senior QA Analyst with nearly 8 years of experience in Quality Assurance, Manual and Test Automation, and Software Delivery. I design test strategies, develop automation frameworks, and execute UI and API testing while collaborating closely with cross-functional Agile teams.

I’ve led testing activities for new features and release cycles, manage the defect lifecycle in Jira, and validate critical compliance and regulatory workflows as a Core POD member. My automation expertise spans Python, Selenium WebDriver, PyTest, Data-Driven Frameworks, and the Page Object Model (POM), with a strong focus on defect triage, root cause analysis, and continuous testing improvements.
