About

Agile Testing Expert | AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner | Driving Quality & Leadership in PLM Domain I’m an IT professional with 18+ years of experience spanning E-Governance, PLM & CAD Testing, Graphics Driver Testing, and Software Quality. My passion lies in improving product quality through effective Agile Testing, Specification-based Testing, and Rapid Testing approaches. I’ve had the opportunity to work with leading organizations such as NVIDIA, Siemens PLM, and SQS (Verisoft), contributing as a Test Lead and driving end-to-end testing for PLM products across India and Japan. My focus has always been on designing smart testing strategies, identifying critical bugs early, and ensuring reliable, high-quality releases. Currently, I’m part of the Active Workspace (AW) product team, developed using Agile methodology, where I serve as an Agile Testing Expert—collaborating closely with developers, product owners, and customers to deliver continuous value and quality. I continue to expand my expertise in both cloud technology and leadership. I’m a certified AWS Cloud Practitioner and have recently completed the Inspire Series for Functional Experience (Leadership) program from IIM Ahmedabad, strengthening my strategic and leadership skills for future challenges.
