About

I help enterprise teams ship software that works — by bridging the gap between business requirements, client expectations, and what gets tested before release. Over 6+ years at Capgemini, I've built a reputation as the QA professional clients and stakeholders trust to catch issues before they become production problems. My work sits at the intersection of testing execution and client coordination — translating business requirements into testable scenarios, running defect triage with stakeholders, and keeping cross-functional teams aligned on delivery timelines. What I bring: → Manual, API, regression, integration & system testing across enterprise applications (TestNG, Postman, PEGA) → 500+ test cases developed and executed, directly reducing production defects → Direct client and stakeholder engagement — requirement validation, gap identification, status reporting, risk communication → Defect triage leadership that's cut resolution time on high-impact issues → Mentoring and coordinating QA teams (currently leading 3 QA members) on timelines and quality standards I'm ISTQB Foundation Level certified and work daily within Agile/Scrum delivery environments. I'm currently open to Senior QA / Test Lead / Client-Facing QA roles where testing expertise and stakeholder communication both matter. Let's connect — especially if you're hiring for QA leadership, client coordination, or Agile delivery roles in the IT services space.
