About

I don't just find bugs — I stop them from reaching your users. Over 5+ years in QA, I've led teams, owned test strategy, and shipped quality across web, mobile (Android & iOS), and API layers for US-based and India-based clients — cutting production defects by 40%, accelerating dev cycles by 30%, and halving onboarding time for new QA hires. What I actually do: → Design end-to-end test strategies that align with sprint goals, not just tick boxes → Own API validation (Postman / REST) before dev hands off to production → Lead cross-functional QA teams of 10+ while staying hands-on with test cases → Bring Agile QA discipline — from backlog grooming to retrospectives — that makes releases predictable My edge: I've worked directly with US-based product managers and engineers across time zones, which means I know how to communicate defects fast, prioritize ruthlessly, and never slow down a sprint. Currently based in Delhi · Available on 30-day notice · Open to remote roles and UAE timezone 📌 Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) · Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) 🛠 Jira · Azure DevOps · TestRail · Postman · Selenium (Basic) · SQL
