What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in software quality assurance.

I'm a dedicated Senior Software QA Engineer with extensive experience in the software development life cycle and quality assurance processes. Currently, I work at Cedar Gate Technologies, where I lead requirements gathering, design test plans, and mentor junior resources. My role involves not only ensuring the quality of software products but also implementing new ideas for process enhancement, particularly in the US healthcare sector.

Previously, I have held senior QA positions at Element74 and Threadcode Technologies, where I set up QA teams and coordinated with cross-functional teams to develop test artifacts and execute both manual and automated tests. My journey began as a Java Developer at NIRC, where I contributed to government-level projects, and I have continuously built on my skills in software testing and development.
