I’m a QA Lead specializing in banking, healthcare, and GenAI testing to deliver defect-resistant enterprise releases.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven QA Lead with 12+ years of experience leading Quality Assurance initiatives across Banking, Healthcare, Financial Services, Logistics, Enterprise Applications, Mainframe Modernization, Mobile Platforms, API Services, and GenAI-powered solutions.
I’m known for defining and executing Test Strategy, QA governance, Test Planning, Risk Management, Defect Management, UAT coordination, and Release Management—bringing clarity to complex programs and reducing defect leakage by about 30% through early validation and stronger coverage.
Across Agile and Scrum environments, I manage QA teams of 4 to 15 members and drive end-to-end quality across SIT, Integration, Regression, E2E testing, and Production Validation. I partner closely with Product Owners, Architects, Developers, Business Analysts, and Client Stakeholders to ensure release readiness and compliance.
Most recently, I led functional testing and quality assurance for enterprise GenAI solutions—validating AI-generated test cases, user stories, design documents, workflows, and artifacts, including API functional testing via Postman, while ensuring business-rule accuracy and regulatory correctness.
