The Mind Behind
the Testing

I'm a Manual QA Test Engineer with 2+ years at GlobalStep, Pune — specialising in game testing across functional, regression, and gameplay cycles.

I lead teams of 10–12 testers, manage end-to-end QA lifecycles, and collaborate with cross-functional teams on features, quality standards, and release timelines.

Built technical depth through AR development in Unity3D — a unique lens on both building and breaking interactive software.
