About

With over 14 years of experience in software quality engineering and testing, I am passionate about delivering high-quality software products that meet customer needs and expectations. I have a proven track record of leading and managing QA teams, defining and implementing QA strategies and methodologies, and collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams. I hold the MCSD certification from Microsoft and the Data Analytics Certificate from Google, demonstrating my technical skills and knowledge in software development and data analysis. As a Lead QA Engineer at World Wide Technology, I oversee and drive the QA process for the software product delivery, ensuring consistent, high-quality standards and best practices. I manage, mentor, and develop a high-performing QA team, including QA Engineers and SDETs, and empower them to achieve their goals and grow their skills. I also work closely with the development, DevOps, and product teams to ensure the quality of our software features and products, and advocate for quality across all aspects of the software development life cycle. I leverage my expertise in QA tools, test scripts, and automation frameworks to enhance testing efficiency and coverage, and monitor and analyze key quality metrics, ensuring timely and effective issue resolution. Some of the skills that I use daily include Mobile Automation, Agile Methodologies, and Jira.
