I am a results-driven QA Testing Lead with over 15 years of experience guiding QA teams and delivering high-quality testing solutions for complex healthcare data systems. I excel at defining test strategies, managing the full testing lifecycle (system, integration, regression, E2E, and UAT), and ensuring defect-free production releases. My background spans data warehousing, ETL validation, advanced SQL, and test automation, with hands-on experience in AWS (Redshift/Glue) and Power BI dashboard validation. I thrive collaborating with developers, analysts, and business stakeholders in Agile environments to deliver reliable, compliant systems. I am passionate about continuous improvement, mentoring teams, and driving quality and performance. I’ve introduced AI-assisted automation (GitHub Copilot) to boost testing efficiency while maintaining HIPAA compliance and a strong focus on data integrity and governance across healthcare datasets. I seek a QA Testing Lead role to further elevate quality and team performance across data-driven healthcare projects.
