Santha Kumar

I’m a results-driven QA professional with 12+ years of experience in embedded software verification, manual testing, and web application testing. I’ve worked across Medical Devices, Consumer Electronics, and IT industries, with a focus on delivering high-quality releases through disciplined execution.

I’ve proven impact as a Test Lead/QA Lead, managing teams of up to 15 members and accelerating release cycles with structured test planning and Agile execution. I also take ownership of defect prevention by strengthening test design reviews and execution guidelines.

In medical device work, I’ve led end-to-end QA for safety-critical infusion pump software validation, supporting FDA (US) approval readiness. I’ve designed and executed 300+ test cases and created 200+ test cases from scratch based on product requirements.

I bring measurable quality results—identifying 50+ critical defects early to reduce defect leakage and bug-fix costs. Recognized with the Knowledge Champion Award, I continue to strengthen QA knowledge sharing, planning efficiency, and team enablement.
