About

I specialize in quality engineering and QA strategy for enterprise applications, with strong experience in API-driven and SAP CPI-based integration environments. With over 8+ years of experience, I have led QA efforts across complex, multi-system landscapes, defining test strategies, ensuring end-to-end validation, and driving high-quality releases. My work focuses on validating APIs, integrations, data flows, and cross-system dependencies, ensuring systems are stable, scalable, and production-ready. I bring a structured and hands-on approach to: Test strategy, planning, and end-to-end STLC execution SAP CPI integration testing (iFlows, adapters, mappings) API and integration testing (Postman, REST, SAP CPI iFlows) SIT, UAT, and regression testing across enterprise systems CI/CD validation using Jenkins and GitHub Defect management, root cause analysis, and release quality improvement In my roles, I have taken ownership of QA delivery, mentored teams, and collaborated closely with developers, DevOps, and stakeholders to ensure quality is built into the development lifecycle - not validated at the end. What differentiates my approach is the ability to combine QA strategy with deep integration understanding, ensuring systems not only function individually but also work reliably together in real-world scenarios. I am particularly interested in opportunities aligned with QA, QA Lead, and QA Manager roles, also in environments involving enterprise applications like SAP CPI integrations, and API ecosystems, where quality plays a critical role in system reliability and scalability.
