What I'm looking for

I seek QA roles emphasizing end-to-end testing (manual and automation), collaborative teams, opportunities to improve test automation, and impactful product-quality work.

I am a seasoned Software QA Tester with over 8 years of experience in manual and automation testing for web-based, mobile, and client-server applications across Banking (CLOS), Insurance, and Telecom domains. I excel at analyzing business and system requirements, creating test strategies, test cases and traceability matrices, and coordinating UAT to ensure high-quality releases.

I have proven expertise with tools such as Selenium, Perfecto, HP ALM (Quality Center), JIRA and TFS, and strong skills in regression, integration, exploratory and compatibility testing. I am a proactive team player with a B.E. in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, recognized with manager appreciation and spot-on achievements for successful project deliveries.
