My expertise spans various domains including healthcare, banking, and telecom, where I have successfully utilized tools such as Selenium, Java, Python, and CI/CD practices to enhance software quality and delivery.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for leading QA teams and implementing shift-left testing strategies that significantly reduce regression cycles and improve defect detection.
