What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a challenging role that offers opportunities for growth and learning in a collaborative environment.

I'm a QA Lead with over 11 years of experience in both manual and automation testing. I graduated with a B.E. (Hons.) in Electrical and Electronics from BITS-Pilani and have worked with leading companies like Oracle and Tech Mahindra. Currently, I lead a team of QA engineers at MindGraph Technologies, where I manage multiple projects and ensure high-quality deliverables through effective communication and collaboration.

My journey has been marked by a passion for learning and mentoring others. I take pride in training new hires and sharing my knowledge with peers across different time zones. I believe in the power of teamwork and strive to create a vibrant atmosphere where everyone can contribute and grow. My technical expertise includes programming in Java, API testing with Postman, and performance testing with JMeter, among others.
