• - Lead UAT cycles from planning and scenario definition through execution, defect triage, reporting and release readiness.

• - Coordinate teams in India, the Philippines and Australia; UAT testers in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany; and US-based vendors such as Redkik.

• - Translate business requirements and insurance journeys into UAT scenarios, acceptance criteria and automation coverage.

• - Lead automation with Playwright, Cucumber and Mockito, replacing repetitive manual validation with maintainable regression tests.

• - Guide automation specialists on framework quality, traceability and scenario design.

• - Drive AI adoption through upskilling, practical use cases and AI agents for test analysis, scenario creation and documentation.

• - Support controlled go-lives and post-release validation.

Results

Improved global UAT governance and alignment between business testing, product delivery and automation. Expanded end-to-end regression coverage, increased release confidence and introduced AI-supported workflows that improve test quality and productivity.

Technologies & Tools

Migration and integration of cloud-based systems for Schengen visa applications. Azure Logic Apps connected internal systems with Dutch and international partners such as EUVIS and VISMAIL. The programme involved more than 100 project members, complex message flows and strict compliance requirements.

Role

Responsible for QA strategy, Master Test Plans, test management and hands-on automation in an Agile/Scrum environment. Led multiple QA teams and served as the main quality contact for chain partners, functional administrators, development teams and programme management.

Key Responsibilities

• - Developed Master Test Plans for regression, FAT/GAT/KAT, performance, integration and cloud testing.

• - Tested Azure Logic Apps workflows, triggers, connectors, error handling and retries.

• - Coordinated end-to-end validation across Logic Apps, APIs, Service Bus, Cosmos DB and international message chains.

• - Validated XML, JSON, SOAP and XSD messages, mappings, status transitions and negative scenarios.

• - Built regression coverage with Tosca and Playwright and scripted critical features.

• - Managed test cases, defects and reporting in TesterSuite and Azure DevOps.

• - Led data migration validation using reconciliation and SQL controls.

• - Managed QA teams, coached functional administrators and reported release risks and go/no go recommendations.

Results

Delivered audit-ready Azure integration chains with minimal production disruption. Earlier QA involvement and automated regression improved control over message flows, error handling, data quality and release predictability. Trained functional administrators to execute high-quality tests independently.

Quality assurance for DNA-matching and chemical-analysis tools in a highly secured research environment, with strong requirements for compliance, auditability and scalable validation across large datasets.

Role

Responsible for test automation, data-driven validation and end-to-end testing. Led a test team and collaborated closely with researchers, developers and business stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• • Developed automated regression and BDD scenarios using Java, Cucumber and Selenium.

• • Performed ETL, data-quality and reconciliation testing in a data warehouse environment.

• • Designed and executed API and integration tests using SoapUI, Postman and Tosca.

• • Applied risk-based and context-driven testing to critical forensic workflows.

• • Coached team members and improved knowledge sharing, test design and automation standards.

Results

Delivered audit-ready validation for critical analytical tools and scalable test solutions suitable for large and sensitive datasets. Integrated automation into day-to-day research delivery and improved repeatability, traceability and release confidence.
