What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters growth and innovation, where I can leverage my extensive QA experience to drive quality and efficiency.

I am a software testing professional with over 11 years of experience specializing in Functional, Performance, and Manual testing across web-based, mobile, and desktop applications in the e-commerce and healthcare domains. My strategic thinking and ISTQB certification have equipped me with the skills necessary to lead QA teams effectively, ensuring high-quality deliverables that align with business goals.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including Tech Lead at IFS R&D International and Sana Commerce, where I defined and implemented test strategies, mentored junior team members, and oversaw comprehensive testing processes. My ability to adapt to fast-changing situations and my strong organizational skills have allowed me to thrive in dynamic environments, making significant contributions to the success of my teams and projects.
