About

With over 14 years of hands-on experience in software testing and quality assurance, I bring a balanced perspective shaped by working across both high-growth product companies and fast-paced service environments. My journey spans leading cross-functional QA teams, defining test strategies from scratch, implementing automation frameworks, and ensuring seamless delivery of high-quality software at scale. I specialize in: ✔️ Test leadership & team mentoring ✔️ End-to-end QA strategy & execution ✔️ Agile, DevOps, and CI/CD environments ✔️ Automation (Selenium, Cypress, REST API testing, etc.) ✔️ Collaboration with product, dev & business teams I thrive on building quality-first cultures, aligning testing with business goals, and solving complex quality challenges with a practical, risk-based approach. Let’s connect if you believe quality isn't just a phase—it's a mindset.
