What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead QA and test architecture, strengthen CI/CD quality engineering, and partner with DevOps/SRE to improve release reliability—while building high-performing teams through automation, risk-based testing, and clear stakeholder metrics.

I’m a QA leader with 19 years of overall experience and 15 years in Quality Assurance, Test Management, and Quality Engineering. I’ve defined and executed enterprise-wide test strategies across 100+ releases, reducing production defects by 40% through automation, risk-based testing, and process optimization.

I build CI/CD-driven quality systems and automation frameworks that improve release predictability—cutting regression cycles by 45% with Jenkins and Selenium. I’ve also led and mentored large QA teams (20+ across onshore/offshore), partnering closely with DevOps/SRE, and I bring hands-on experience across WebDriver automation, API testing, SQL validation, and performance testing (JMeter). Lately, I’ve expanded into GenAI testing, including building and validating an AI-agent using JS & Pytest and Langsmith.
