At Lloyds Banking Group, via Virtusa, I owned end-to-end test strategy and governance for data migration, cloud transformation and regulatory reporting programmes. I managed SIT, E2E, OAT and business UAT, and reported quality metrics to senior management and programme boards.

At Lloyds Banking Group, via Wipro, I led SIT/UAT for the Future Clearing Model and Enterprise Data Hub ingestion, coordinating a team of 30+ and suppliers. Across financial services, healthcare, energy and public-sector programmes, I’ve worked on test delivery, automation and cloud migration, and hold CSM, CSPO and AWS Solutions Architect – Associate certifications.
