·       Conducted regular Jira backlog grooming with offshore development teams to clarify functional requirements, resolve ambiguities, and ensure offshore builds were aligned with onshore business expectations before coding began. This reduced rework cycles by over 30% across two major release windows. ·       Coordinated SIT planning and execution across billing data integration modules, writing detailed test scenarios covering end-to-end data flow from intake through processing and output validation. Tracked defect status daily and drove retesting cycles to closure within committed sprint timelines. ·       Managed UAT coordination with functional SMEs and business stakeholders, preparing test scripts, scheduling execution windows, and facilitating walkthrough sessions to keep validation on track. Obtained formal UAT sign-off from business leads before each production migration window, ensuring no releases proceeded without documented approval. ·       Oversaw production readiness checks prior to each major deployment, validating that offshore-delivered builds met quality standards, all critical defects were resolved, and rollback plans were documented and communicated to the operations team. ·       Built and maintained traceability matrices linking business requirements to Jira stories and test cases, giving stakeholders a clear line of sight from requirement to validation outcome. This became a standard artifact referenced during audit and compliance reviews. ·       Served as the primary escalation point for offshore delivery issues, triaging blockers in real time and coordinating with onshore architects to provide technical direction that unblocked development without derailing sprint timelines. ·       Analyzed recurring defect patterns across billing data processing workflows to identify root causes rather than treating symptoms, leading to targeted fixes that reduced repeat defect rates significantly over successive release cycles.
