What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior QA roles where I can lead test strategy, improve quality gates, mentor teams, and deliver enterprise Salesforce/finance solutions in collaborative Agile environments.

I am a Senior Test Lead with 14 years of QA leadership experience focused on improving product quality, reducing release defects, and accelerating delivery cycles.

I have led multi-vendor QA teams of up to 25 testers, increased test coverage by 30–50%, and reduced production defects by 20–40% through robust test strategies and process optimization.

My domain experience includes large-scale Salesforce implementations, Insurance (Guidewire), Banking, E-commerce, and Education systems where I drove requirement clarity and ensured collaboration across development, product, and business teams.

I specialize in end-to-end test planning, defect management, risk-based testing, test process optimization, and mentoring teams, and I hold certifications including Certified Scrum Master and API/UI testing training.
