QA lead at Infosys who improved QA efficiency by 30% and helped prevent approximately $3M in potential business impact.

At Infosys, I led QA teams on large BFS programs, including OnePay Modernisation, India Data Localisation, and VAM implementation. I defined test strategies and plans across releases and regions, and drove regression test automation through CI/CD integration.

At Infosys, I improved QA efficiency by 30% with reusable templates and standardised processes, and reduced recurring defects by 25% by analysing JIRA trends with development and data teams. I also identified critical edge cases that helped prevent approximately $3M in potential business impact.

At Virtusa Consulting & Services Ltd., I managed non-production environments and deployment coordination, and supported incident management and high-priority issue resolution. Earlier, at Polaris Consulting & Services Ltd. and Quintegra Solutions, I worked on test planning, functional and system testing, defect tracking, and data validation.
