About Haroon Abbasi

QA Manager with almost 10 YEARS of experience in designing, developing, and implementing functionality testing for mobile applications (iOS/Android/web) and the service of applications. While I lead a team across the US, Canada, and India, I miss the grind of actual testing, and being more hands-on as a QA. I am in the process of upskilling to become an SDET.Key Achievements- Customer-Centric Focus: Transformed the team\'s mindset to become customer-centric, ensuring every deliverable reflects the quality one would impart when creating for oneself- Timely Delivery and Reliability: Orchestrated a culture of on-time delivery, emphasizing reliability, and instilling the ethos that our products must consistently provide tangible value- Client Portfolio Expansion: Initiated with a solitary customer and, through my journey from QA Engineer to QA Manager, expanded Presto\'s clientele to include industry giants like Red Lobster, Chili\'s, Applebee\'s, Denny\'s, Outback, and more- Path to IPO: Instrumental in steering Presto towards an impending IPO, a testament to our enhanced quality standards and sustained value delivery.In every role, my aim is not just to meet expectations but to exceed them, elevating Presto to new heights in the competitive landscape of the restaurant industry.My passions are trying new cuisines with family and friends, traveling, and vlogging! I\'ve traveled to multiple countries such as the UK, Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Aruba, Turkey, and many other wonderful places.
