Summary

Software development and testing is like solving a puzzle and improving process to achieve efficiency, which is not only interesting but also gives immense joy to me. I bring 6 years of robust experience of leading DTMB and DHHS projects in software testing space. In my last project, I collaborated with development teams, business teams, stakeholders and led a testing team of 5 resources for a $12 M project. My proficiency in testing and process improvement had reduced defect leakage by 70% and improved testing efficiency by 60%. I am looking for a challenging job, in which I can contribute to the organization and there by grow and nurture a team.
