Hathim Al Ghifari — QA Manager

I've spent 16 years making sure software works — really works — before it reaches users. Most of that time was at Fidelity Investments, testing mission-critical financial platforms handling Equity, FX, Money Market, and CLS trades. When you're testing systems that move real money, there's no room for "good enough." That environment shaped how I think about quality — full ownership, risk-based thinking, and zero tolerance for defect leakage. I currently work remotely for Innovit Australia from Chennai, owning end-to-end functional testing in a compliance-driven regulatory environment. It's also shown me I thrive in async, no-hand-holding setups. The results have been measurable: 40% reduction in defect leakage, 38% improvement in testing efficiency, and 85% faster regression cycles — all on platforms where those numbers directly protect real money and real users. ───────────────────────────── 🎯 WHAT I BRING TO THE TABLE ───────────────────────────── → 16+ years across the full QA lifecycle — manual, functional, regression, exploratory & API testing → Deep FinTech domain knowledge — trade repositories, payment flows, transaction-heavy systems → Strong API testing using Postman & SoapUI; backend data validation using SQL → Defect tracking & reporting in Jira — from logging to driving resolution → Agile & Scrum practitioner — Certified Scrum Master with hands-on team leadership experience → Comfortable owning quality end-to-end, independently, across cross-functional teams ───────────────────────────── 📊 THE IMPACT ───────────────────────────── → 40% reduction in defect leakage across critical fintech platforms → 38% improvement in testing efficiency through structured, repeatable processes → 85% faster regression cycles through strategic automation → 1,000+ financial API endpoints validated across trade and settlement systems → Zero production incidents on mission-critical releases ───────────────────────────── 🛠️ TOOLS & TECH ───────────────────────────── Jira · Postman · SoapUI · Parasoft SOATest · Playwright SQL · Jenkins · HP Quality Center · Xray · ServiceNow ───────────────────────────── 📌 CURRENTLY OPEN TO ───────────────────────────── Senior QA Engineer or QA Lead roles — FinTech, Payments, or SaaS Fully remote or hybrid · Open to UK / US / Australia based companies
