Experience
Quality Assurance Project Manager
Jan 2026 — Present · Santa Clara, CA, US
Led QA and Project Management efforts for multiple projects simultaneously (CRM database, lakehouse query feedback, internal AI assistant). Brought a sense of urgency to projects, which helped to reduce timelines and start key conversations sooner than later (e.g. timelines, SLA, testing setup, milestone-based progress check-ins, outward reporting).Using a shift-left process, created the foundation of environmental settings and test scenarios to ensure that a lean and robust testing process was implemented. Worked directly with stakeholders to define the border between development and QA (to eliminate any redundant efforts by QA).All negative scenarios were brought up prior to testing to ensure nothing was out-of-scope, including all levels of testing (functional, internal/external compliance, safety, compatibility).Created relevant documentation from scratch at all milestones of the projects, which acted as a centralized source of truth for QA. Onboarded all testers prior to the start of testing so that there would be minimal questions at start of testing.
