What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA delivery and test automation for capital markets software, owning release and test strategy end-to-end. I want cross-functional ownership with Engineering and Product, strong process discipline, and opportunities to grow teams and capabilities.

I’m a Director – Quality Assurance with a total of 20+ years’ experience in Software Testing leadership and Project Management across the software development life cycle, plus 4+ years in Business Analysis. I bring a complete understanding of QA methodologies and a goal-oriented, leadership-first approach to coordinating and directing end-to-end test efforts.

In my current role at Nasdaq/ Adenza/ Calypso, I’m responsible for delivery of the collateral management module for monthly releases, including interface work with Acadia for messaging and Triparty management. I’ve handled 4 successful product module releases (around 1500 test cases executed), led release management coordination across Engineering/Product/QA, and strengthened regression coverage by driving automation using CATT, UFT, Playwright, and Cypress (automation coverage done for 50% of functionalities, around 750 test cases).

Previously at BNP Paribas IT Solutions, I managed requirements gathering and scoping, As-is/To-be process mapping, data analysis, and stakeholder management for portfolio management, portfolio accounting, and regulatory reporting services. I also owned risk/issues tracking, change management with traceability and stakeholder signoff, and supported SIT/UAT by reviewing test cases and addressing defects on time—ensuring system readiness through coordinated configuration requests.
