About Me

Built on quality, growing toward engineering

My career began in business operations as a Claims Associate at Wipro, where I learned how real-world processes, data, and accuracy drive outcomes. That foundation led me into software quality, and since October 2022 I have worked as a QA professional at Global Engine.

I have stronger experience in manual testing and steadily growing experience in automation testing. I understand how a tested product and a reliable release process fit together, and I am now actively upskilling in DevOps — Linux, Git, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and Terraform.

My goal is to keep expanding from QA into broader software engineering — bringing a strong testing mindset into build, deploy, and operations. I care about doing real work the right way, not about padding a resume with unearned labels.

Career Journey

One continuous story of growth

  1. Wipro

    Claims Associate

    Started in business operations with claims-related process experience, building domain and operational knowledge that would later shape my testing perspective.

  2. Global Engine

    QA / Manual Testing

    Moved into software quality. Manual testing became my primary focus — test case design, functional and regression testing, and defect reporting.

  3. Global Engine

    Automation Testing

    Expanding beyond manual work into automation testing to make quality checks repeatable, faster, and more reliable.

  4. Now

    DevOps Upskilling

    Currently learning Linux, Git, CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, and Terraform — connecting testing with the broader engineering lifecycle.

  5. Future Goal

    QA + Automation + DevOps

    Combining testing strengths, automation skills, and DevOps practices into a well-rounded software engineering profile.
