10+About
With over 10 years of experience as a Tester, I have had the privilege of working with esteemed blue-chip clients in various sectors including Banking, Telecom, and Broadcasting Media. My expertise spans Writing Test Scripts, UAT Testing, Regression, Software Testing, Ecosystem Testing, Automation, and Set Top Box (STB) testing, with a specialization in DTT/OTT platform VOD and Linear testing. I am recognized for my reliability, confidence, and collaborative spirit, capable of thriving both independently and as part of a team. Currently, I am eager to further develop my testing skills within a renowned organization, bringing a wealth of knowledge and a strong work ethic. In my recent role as a Senior Test Engineer/Test Lead at Sky, London, I have been instrumental in testing and launching applications like NOW and Peacock. My responsibilities included real-time traffic monitoring, mobile testing, automation using JavaScript, and performance testing using various methodologies and tools such as Jenkins, GitHub, New Relic, and Postman. I have a solid background in testing across different devices and platforms, ensuring video quality, compatibility, and performance. My role also involved creating comprehensive test plans, managing team activities, and using agile methodologies to drive efficiency and quality. My previous positions at Worldpay, YouView, and Virgin Media further honed my skills in API testing, regression testing, automation, and agile practices, making me adept in handling complex testing scenarios and delivering top-notch results.Tech Stack

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...
“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
