## About

```text
At Indra Avitech, I owned test strategy for mission-critical aviation software and tested weather data ingestion and processing against ICAO standards. I designed Playwright regression and integration suites that grew automation coverage from 0% to 70% and reduced CI/CD execution time by 35%.

At Alten GmbH, I built release management and quality governance functions from scratch, introducing Tosca automation that reduced test case maintenance effort by 40%. I managed testing across parallel release streams and achieved 100% on-time delivery.

Earlier, at Atos Syntel and Oracle India Private Limited, I worked on end-to-end quality for enterprise ERP and Siebel CRM applications. I translated requirements into repeatable test cases, validated ERP flows and data integrity, and coached developers on testability and unit testing.
