What I'm looking for

I seek a senior QA role where I can lead testing efforts, mentor teams, work in Agile product environments, and continue improving QA processes and automation adoption while delivering high-quality releases.

I am a Senior QA professional with over 10.5 years of experience focusing on functional testing across web, mobile and mainframe applications in banking, real estate and EdTech domains.

I have led small teams, created master test plans, designed and executed test cases, and driven defect management using JIRA and HP ALM while coordinating releases and stakeholder communication.

My technical strengths include API testing with Postman/SoapUI, database verification in DB2/Oracle/MySQL, and a strong command of black-box testing techniques, regression and exploratory testing within Agile environments.

I am committed to quality delivery, mentoring new team members, producing thorough project documentation in Confluence, and continuously improving testing processes to reduce effort and increase reuse.
