About

I don't just follow use cases; the scenarios identified by me become use cases. I have a knack for taking ownership and responsibility and making rational decisions by asking the right questions, in the right way, at the right time for optimal impact. I have also been an ardent user of web, mobile and banking applications, cards and online payments since 2009. My diverse and challenging agile career in two of the largest corporations as well as two amazing Switzerland-based FinTech startups demonstrates my professional acumen to adapt, excel and contribute towards your organizational goals. 9+ years of experience in E2E Product Ownership and leading Quality Assurance of enterprise (B2B) & end-user (B2C) web and mobile apps. I have worked in FinTech, payments processing, distribution, merchant acquiring, POS, retail, e-commerce, risk management and compliance. I have been responsible for business requirements, end-to-end integration, system specifications, technical design analysis, UX, UAT and QA strategy.
