My Journey

I started my journey in QA as an intern, and over time, I've grown into a core team member leading end-to-end quality efforts at Keka HR. From collaborating with cross-functional teams to owning feature testing and handling production issues, I've consistently taken initiative to ensure stable and high-quality releases. Balancing feature work, OS escalations, and ad-hoc product requests has helped me build strong prioritization and communication skills, while staying focused on delivering value to both the team and end users.

Over time, I’ve developed a solid foundation in manual testing, API validation, regression planning, and release coordination. I enjoy writing meaningful test cases, aligning closely with product and engineering, and contributing to agile, fast-moving teams through mentoring and process improvements

Career Goals

My career goal is to continue growing as a quality-focused professional by contributing to impactful, user-centric products. I aim to deepen my expertise in both manual and automated testing while expanding my understanding of product workflows, user behavior, and system design. I’m passionate about building scalable QA processes, collaborating across teams, and ensuring every release meets the highest standards. In the long run, I aspire to take on leadership roles where I can mentor others, drive quality strategy, and bridge the gap between product vision and flawless execution.
