As a Senior QA Engineer with nearly a decade of experience spanning healthcare, banking, insurance, and fintech, I design enterprise test automation frameworks, orchestrate UAT programs, and mentor QA teams to deliver high-quality software. I collaborate with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to establish quality gates, track quality metrics, and drive data-informed decisions that improve delivery outcomes. I leverage AI-powered tools to accelerate test scenario generation, defect analysis, and test optimization, while maintaining a strong hands-on focus with Selenium, Playwright, REST Assured, and CI/CD integration. My goal is to reduce defect escapes, boost automation ROI, and enable cross-functional alignment on quality across UI, API, and backend layers.
