What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end QA/UAT delivery in Agile teams—driving test strategy, risk analysis, defect triage, and release readiness so we ship high-quality updates on time.

I’m a Software QA /Test Lead with more than 16 years of experience in testing software applications across various domains. I focus on QA processes, Agile methodology, and SDLC-STLC to ensure high quality and timely delivery.

I’ve managed end-to-end testing processes in global delivery models, combining strong resource management with detail-oriented execution. I’m skilled in test planning, test execution, defect triage, and release readiness activities.

In my recent role as Analyst, UAT at T-Mobile (3MD INC), I perform regression/sanity testing, exploratory testing, and user acceptance testing for iOS and Android releases. I also run post-deployment smoke tests in production and validate bug fixes to closure.

Earlier, as Lead, Quality Assurance at Nagarro Software, I mentored and coached QA teams, prepared test metrics and reports, and performed risk analysis for production issues. I also supported UAT for production releases and reduced workload by creating sanity test suites for deployments.
