About Me

Shaping Quality with Precision & Innovation

I'm a QA Team Lead at AAHA Solutions (India & UK) with 3.5+ years of experience leading a 10-member cross-functional team of QA engineers and developers. I coordinate with DB architects, Project Managers, Product Owners, Business Analysts, and business stakeholders to deliver high-quality releases.

I have a proven track record of reducing defect leakage by 40% and improving product quality by 25% through early testing, risk-based prioritization, and enhanced test coverage. I'm an active community contributor — recognized as a MoT Bug Finder Winner, ShiftSync AI Challenge Winner, and Tricentis Community Spotlight Achiever.
