Provided QA leadership and advisory services by defining test strategies, mentoring teams, and improving automation practices. Supported the adoption of Playwright-based automation and CI/CD-aligned quality processes. Conducted training and mentorship for engineers and students, helping clients increase testing maturity and delivery efficiency.

Developed and maintained a scalable Playwright automation framework for mortgage product testing, increasing automation coverage and reducing manual regression effort. Owned test planning, execution, defect management, and reporting while applying shift-left testing to reduce escaped defects. Wrote SQL queries for backend data verification and used AI-assisted tools (ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot) and visual validation (Applitools) to accelerate and improve regression coverage.

Led a QA and delivery role for enterprise application maintenance and production support, managing risk, planning, and stakeholder communication. Owned QA planning and release quality while automating regression with Selenium and Java, and improving test coverage through framework enhancements. Performed backend validation using SQL scripts and executed end-to-end ETL testing with data quality checks, integrating automated validations into CI/CD pipelines.

Delivered ERP-related modules by implementing functionality in SQL Server environments. Gathered client requirements, supported estimation and design, and implemented features using SQL queries and stored procedures. Participated in production deployment activities for delivered projects and supported ongoing delivery needs.

Developed web applications using ASP.NET and C# with SQL Server. Implemented modules including attendance management, library management, and payroll processing for an RFID-based environment. Fixed defects during SIT/UAT and prepared training materials and user manuals for end users.

Built an institutional automation system using RFID-based workflows with ASP.NET/C# and SQL Server 2000. Implemented core library management processes and performed unit testing on interfaces. Enabled tracking and reporting features for academic and administrative use cases, including coordination between institutions and parents/guardians.

Developed an office administration system using RFID-driven attendance and HR workflows with ASP.NET/C# and SQL Server 2000. Implemented modules for attendance capture, leave request handling, task allocation, and automated payroll/report generation. Performed interface unit testing and supported application usability through training materials and user documentation.

Led QA activities for a large-scale data migration effort supporting a multi-member team while preventing critical post-deployment defects. Owned the ETL test lifecycle including strategy, planning, execution, defect management, and reporting for data warehouse implementations. Validated source-to-target mappings and transformation rules using advanced SQL/PLSQL reconciliation and comprehensive data quality checks, coordinating with data and BI teams to resolve ETL issues.

Served as QA gatekeeper for production support by coordinating requirement inputs, deployments, and release readiness across environments. Managed regression automation using Selenium WebDriver with Java, including execution via Azure DevOps pipelines. Owned test planning, execution tracking, and stakeholder communication using KPI reporting, and supported data validation using SQL-based automation.

Implemented automation for mortgage product modules, including Java-based test automation using Selenium ecosystem components. Built REST API test coverage using REST Assured and Postman collections to validate API behavior. Added GitLab CI/CD integration so automated tests run on every merge request and helped ensure each sprint release quality through coordinated manual testing.
