What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead end-to-end QA delivery as a Test Manager—building risk-based test frameworks, aligning teams to Agile/ITIL delivery, and reporting quality metrics that help stakeholders trust on-time releases.

I’m a Test Manager with 14 years of experience leading end-to-end QA delivery for enterprise IT programs across Service Transition, Healthcare, Supply Chain, and PLM domains. I’m known for building test strategy and ITIL-aligned delivery models that drive predictable, on-time outcomes on complex programs.

At Computacenter, I led QA strategy and authored comprehensive test plans, aligning resources, timelines, and execution milestones with client specifications. I cut post-release production defects by 80% by implementing a risk-based test prioritization framework, leading teams of 20+ QA engineers and automation testers across India, US, and UK time zones. I also reduced annual tooling costs by 20% through vendor consolidation, and extended coverage with API testing using SoapUI and Postman.

Earlier, as a QA Lead at Gainwell Technologies, I directed end-to-end QA lifecycle for large-scale US Healthcare systems and improved release stability across multiple product releases. I mentored 6 QA engineers into senior/lead roles through structured coaching and certification support, and I began my QA career supporting PLM (ENOVIA) and supply chain/procurement testing for clients like Honeywell and IBM.
