What I'm looking for

I seek an Agile role where I can lead Scrum teams and QA practices, coach for continuous improvement, drive automation, and deliver predictable, high-quality releases in collaborative, product-focused environments.

I am a Certified Scrum Master and QA Team Lead with 8.7 years of experience in Agile software delivery, including 3 years performing hands-on Scrum Master responsibilities. I specialize in Scrum facilitation, Agile coaching, and end-to-end quality assurance across enterprise and SaaS platforms.

I have led QA efforts for 10+ end-to-end SaaS, loyalty, and e-commerce projects, delivering 100% on-time releases and reducing manual effort by 30% through Selenium/TestNG automation. I pair strong stakeholder management with metrics-driven delivery using JIRA, TestRail, and Agile reporting (velocity, burndown charts).

I coach teams on Scrum values and continuous improvement, coordinate cross-functional delivery across QA, Development, Product and Business, and have been recognized by clients for consistent quality and reliability.
