What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead risk-based QA for IoT/smart metering programs—driving compatibility and API quality, building clear dashboards and documentation, and mentoring teams to deliver reliable releases with strong cross-functional alignment.

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience in Smart Energy device-level testing, specializing in AMI/AMR meters, HES/MDMS platforms, and advanced data collection systems. I lead compatibility testing across smart meters, mobile devices, gateways, and communication protocols to ensure seamless interoperability in real-world data collection.

I partner with project managers and engineering leadership to deliver structured, risk-based testing across complex utility programs, while mentoring junior testers to raise QA standards. I maintain governance-ready documentation (Test Plan, Test Summary Report, dashboards) and drive quality through defect triage, analytics, configuration management, and deep API testing using REST/GraphQL, Postman, and SOAPUI.
