Senior QA & Business Analyst specializing in AI-augmented testing, LLM validation, and self-healing automation in Agile/SAFe delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior QA & Business Analyst with 15+ years of experience across healthcare, banking, and financial domains. I combine traditional test management (UAT, defect lifecycle, RTM) with emerging proficiency in AI-augmented testing, including autonomous test generation, visual AI validation, self-healing test automation, and LLM/GenAI output testing.
In Agile/SAFe environments, I’ve focused on measurable quality outcomes—reducing incident resolution time and improving first-pass rates—by aligning QA strategy with modern delivery pipelines. At UnitedHealth Group, I integrated AI-driven anomaly detection into Datadog monitoring, piloted Applitools Eyes for visual AI validation, and partnered with engineering to improve test stability with self-healing approaches.
I also lead incident and feedback workflows end-to-end: translating Qualtrics survey feedback into structured ServiceNow incidents, coordinating WAR rooms for P1/P2 issues, and applying AI-assisted RCA using Splunk ML capabilities. I produce executive-ready RCA, impact analysis, and systemic fix recommendations to keep releases moving with clarity.
I enjoy translating requirements into AI-ready testable stories with clear acceptance criteria, expanding coverage through AI test case generation without adding manual effort. I’ve also led onsite/offshore QA teams (up to 15 members) to ensure on-time delivery and zero critical escapes, and I’m actively upskilling with AI in Software Testing (Mabl, Applitools, Testim, Selenium AI integrations) while holding my CSPO certification.
