Experienced QA Specialist | Business Analyst | Technical Communicator
Iโm a versatile IT professional with over 15 years of experience in quality assurance, business analysis, and technical documentation across healthcare, finance, telecom, and SaaS industries. I specialize in manual testing, UAT, and end-to-end testing for complex enterprise systems, with deep knowledge of tools like JIRA, Postman, SQL, and EPIC. Iโve led cross-functional Agile teams, translated requirements into testable outcomes, and driven process improvements that reduced defects and saved millions in development costs. With a strong focus on user experience, collaboration, and clarity, I bring both technical precision and people-first communication to every project.
