With over 15 years of experience in software testing, quality assurance, and test management across financial services, security, and government programmes, I bring a strong combination of technical expertise, leadership capability, and a proven track record of delivering high-quality solutions in complex environments. Throughout my career I have led testing activities across both Agile and Waterfall projects, managing end-to-end test strategy, planning, execution, defect management, and production sign-off. At BT Group, Cognizant, and Virtusa, I led large-scale testing initiatives for high-profile PKI migration and Dynamics 365 programmes, introducing process improvements, automation frameworks, and real-time reporting that significantly improved efficiency and product quality. I have extensive hands-on experience with Selenium, Java, REST Assured, Jira, Xray, Jenkins, Dynamics 365, API and performance testing, and CI/CD pipelines, and I actively leverage AI tools including GitHub Copilot to accelerate test documentation, identify coverage gaps, and support automation development. Key achievements include: Designing and implementing a defect management process from scratch, improving resolution and reporting efficiency. Automating over 95% of manual regression testing using Selenium and Java frameworks. Reducing critical defect resolution time from 2 days to under 8 hours. Leading cross-functional teams and stakeholder engagement across development, QA, infrastructure, and client organisations. I am highly adaptable, detail-oriented, and passionate about driving quality through collaboration and continuous improvement. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my experience and technical leadership to your organisation.
