Started journey as a pure manual functional tester, in Aug 2007 with Quinnox working for Barclays Bank (Retails division). The First 4 years spend, learning different aspects of functional, nonfunctional, business-centric requirements, expectations & deliveries. The move to Oracle (as a consultant from Capgemini) in 2010, marked his first step diving deep into project engineering – right from requirement gathering, analysis, use case design, business flow, prototyping, development challenges, feature-performing functional, non-functional tests. Spend about 20 months with Oracle, as a member of the core team developing NGP, which is now known as OBP (Oracle Banking Platform) for National Australi Bank (NAB).
