About

I bring 16+ years of experience in Quality Engineering, Testing, and RPA with a strong focus on delivering reliable, user-centric, and high-performing products across domains. After a fulfilling early career (1999–2008), I took a planned break to focus on personal priorities. In 2018, I returned to the tech space, upskilled in data services, and have since led testing, automation, and product-aligned quality efforts for enterprise data platforms and impact-focused digital solutions. Over the last 5+ years, I’ve been actively engaged in product-related roles, contributing to product analysis, writing user stories, collaborating with business stakeholders, and ensuring end-to-end product quality. My work spans various domains, including healthcare, e-commerce, payroll, education, and sustainability. I’ve contributed to projects involving ETL pipelines, data validation, cloud migration, and automated reporting. I also explored low-cost automation solutions for small businesses and awareness-led initiatives in areas such as food waste and medical access. Now, I'm on a path toward product-focused roles, blending my strengths in quality, user understanding, and cross-functional collaboration with a growing interest in shaping how products solve real problems. I value clarity, empathy, and continuous learning, and I’m looking to contribute where technology and purpose come together to create lasting value.
