IBM Global
Project Manager / Test Manager — Nov 2005 – Oct 2018
Projects: e–Pricer and Blue Harmony. I started my career at IBM as a tester in the IT department. Within two years, I advanced to the role of Test Leader, and another two years later, I became a Test Manager. In these roles, I took charge of the System Integration Testing (SIT), User Acceptance Testing (UAT), and maintenance environments, collaborating closely with developers and coordinating all manual testing activities. As the Test Leader, I assumed responsibility for generating reports, maintaining effective communication channels, and interacting with users and developers. I conducted thorough requirement analysis, developed comprehensive test cases, executed tests, and performed detailed defect analysis. Throughout my career, I have gained expertise in various testing phases, including System Integration Testing, Functional Testing, User Acceptance Testing, Regression Testing, Audit Testing, Maintenance Testing, and providing support in the production environment. In my Test Manager role, I successfully managed the testing lifecycle for maintenance projects, working collaboratively with cross–functional teams to ensure optimal testing outcomes. With meticulous planning, execution, and defect analysis, I consistently delivered high–quality results.
