Dear Hiring Manager,

I am excited to apply for a Senior QA / Lead QA position in your organization. With over 10 years of experience in Software Quality Assurance — focused 70% on Automation Testing and 30% on UAT and Test Leadership — I have built a career specializing in delivering robust, scalable, and efficient testing solutions across Banking, KYC/AML, Insurance, and Airline domains.

In my current role as Lead Consultant – QA and Team Lead at Virtusa for Emirates NBD Bank, I drive automation-first testing strategies while leading a high-performing QA team. I have designed and implemented Selenium WebDriver + Cucumber BDD frameworks, integrated with Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, ensuring seamless and repeatable automation execution. My responsibilities include:

70% Automation Focus – Building reusable automation libraries, integrating database validations (MySQL/Postgres), and executing API testing with Postman, all aligned with Agile delivery.

30% UAT Leadership – Managing UAT cycles, mentoring testers, conducting defect triage, and delivering Go/No-Go decisions in collaboration with stakeholders.
I also ensure traceability with JIRA, maintain robust documentation, and perform risk-based testing for core banking modules such as Retail Banking, Payments, Digital Wallets, and Finacle Core.

Previously, at Standard Chartered Bank, I enhanced automation coverage for Retail and Corporate Banking systems while leading a QA team through SIT and UAT. I implemented SQL/Postgres database automation checks, tested ISO 15022 SWIFT messages, and validated multi-platform banking channels. In earlier roles, I developed POM-based Selenium frameworks, used Talos RPA for insurance systems, and automated airline booking processes from scratch.

Beyond core automation expertise, I explore AI-driven low-code automation — including n8n workflow integration with Selenium — to trigger automated test executions via chatbots, enhancing efficiency and reducing manual intervention.

My combination of deep automation expertise, proven team leadership, and strong UAT delivery ensures both high technical quality and business alignment. I am confident that my skills will strengthen your QA function and accelerate time-to-market without compromising quality.

Best regards,
