I am a Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience in manual testing of enterprise systems, web applications, and complex multi-system workflows. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy close collaboration with engineering teams and customers to ensure release quality, production readiness, and successful go-lives. I specialize in end-to-end, integration, and API testing across hybrid (Cloud + On-prem) deployments, data validation using SQL, UAT, and troubleshooting critical issues before go-live. I’m comfortable bridging R&D and customer perspectives to maintain system stability and reliable data flows during migrations and integrations.
