India

Message

At Centre for Smart Governance, I work across QA and business analysis for Kaveri 2.0, UUCMS, and NDSS. I translate stakeholder requirements into BRDs, FRDs, and user stories with clear acceptance criteria.

I develop test strategies and cases for functional, integration, data, and API validation. I also test integrations using AIS and SML, and maintain Swagger API specifications.

I coordinate UAT by preparing scripts, working with users, tracking issues, and supporting sign-off. I also define data mapping and transformation logic between government systems.

Earlier at Centre for Smart Governance, I led manual testing teams and standardized QA documentation. Across my roles, I have tested data migrations and integrations, managed defects, and supported Agile delivery.
