Jr. Programmer — Cirrius Wireless
Contributed to QA for multiple customer-facing applications across insurance, and pharma domains, spanning mobile and web platforms.
Multi-domain QA ownership
Banking, insurance, pharma — each with different kinds of risk.
- Designed domain-specific test strategies that respected the unique regulatory and reliability requirements of each industry.
- Identified reusable patterns across domains to speed up test design and reduce duplicated effort.
- Ensured UAT and go-live processes included clear sign-off criteria for business stakeholders.
Mobile & web application quality
Keeping customer-facing apps stable, usable and secure.
- Coordinated testing across Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Symbian OS, and responsive web platforms to ensure consistent behavior and user flows.
- Paid attention to edge cases common in the field — poor networks, interruptions, device differences.
- Worked closely with developers and designers to catch UX and flow issues before customers did.
Process & cross-functional collaboration
Making QA a partner to delivery, not a blocker at the end.
- Established basic but effective processes around test planning, execution and defect triage with dev and product teams.
- Drove conversations around prioritisation: which bugs must be fixed before release and which can be deferred safely.
- Helped teams see QA as a partner in risk management instead of just a phase before go-live.
Relevance for you
Useful if you run multiple products and need pragmatic QA leadership.
I’m comfortable building QA practices for multiple products at once,
especially where each has slightly different risk and compliance
expectations.
