Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the QA Manager position (Manual Testing with Selenium and Python) in Pune. With 17+ years of experience leading QA functions and teams of 20+ engineers across enterprise platforms, I bring a strong blend of hands-on test engineering and strategic QA leadership that aligns well with your requirements.

In my current role as QA Manager / Head of QA at Peninsula Petroleum, I own end-to-end QA delivery for a mission‑critical CTRM platform, including final release sign‑off and go/no‑go decisions. I have designed and implemented Selenium‑based frameworks (TestNG) and later migrated our automation to a Python‑pytest framework, while continuing to anchor strong manual testing practices, risk‑based testing, and regression coverage. I also lead API testing using Python requests and integrate automated suites into CI/CD pipelines.

My experience includes test strategy, QA governance, release management, and defect lifecycle management using Azure DevOps. I actively leverage AI for test case design, coverage optimization, and faster automation development, which has helped reduce regression execution time by about 60% and improve overall product quality.

I am confident that my background in manual testing, Selenium, Python, QA management, and Agile/Scrum environments will enable me to drive high‑quality releases and mentor your QA team effectively. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to strengthening the QA function at Saisystems Health.
