About

I catch bugs before your users do. With 4+ years in quality assurance at Infosys, I've built a reputation as the engineer who asks the uncomfortable question: "What happens when this breaks?" — and then makes sure it doesn't. Here's what that looks like in practice: Designed and executed 300+ manual test cases across functional, regression, integration, and UAT streams. Cut average defect resolution time by 50% by leading structured defect triage meetings. Validated 100% of business requirements through coordinated UAT sessions with stakeholders. Accelerated time-to-market by ~15% by applying Agile/Scrum frameworks effectively. Built interactive Power BI dashboards that gave teams real-time visibility into quality metrics. I'm equally comfortable diving into test case design as I am sitting with business stakeholders to understand what "quality" actually means for them. That cross-functional fluency — between QA, BA, and project delivery — is what makes me effective. My toolkit: JIRA · Confluence · SQL · Python · Power BI · Manual Testing · Agile/Scrum · BRD/FRD/SRS documentation. I hold a Google Project Management Certification (Dec 2025) and am actively exploring roles where I can grow into SDET, Senior QA, or Business Analyst tracks. Let's connect if you're hiring for QA, SDET, or BA roles. I'm available immediately and open to relocate.
