- Led the end-to-end performance testing strategy across multiple releases, defining the approach, scope, objectives, entry/exit criteria, risks, and success metrics aligned with business and non-functional requirements.
- Developed comprehensive Performance Test Plans, including workload modelling, user concurrency, transaction mix, test environments, test data, execution schedules, resource planning, and reporting.
- Defined and implemented the overall performance testing roadmap, ensuring alignment with project milestones, release timelines, and organisational quality objectives.
- Collaborated with Solution Architects, Product Owners, Business Analysts, Infrastructure teams, and Development teams to establish non-functional requirements (NFRs), Service Level Agreements (SLAs), and performance acceptance criteria.
- Designed realistic workload models and business transaction profiles to simulate expected production usage, peak loads, stress conditions, and long-running endurance scenarios.
- Led performance risk assessments, identifying potential scalability, capacity, and infrastructure risks early in the delivery lifecycle, and developed mitigation strategies.
- Directed the development and maintenance of Apache JMeter performance test frameworks and reusable scripts, ensuring consistency, maintainability, and scalability across projects.
- Established performance testing standards, governance, best practices, naming conventions, and reporting templates to improve quality and repeatability across the team.
- Led execution of load, stress, spike, volume, and endurance (soak) testing, ensuring complete coverage of critical business processes and integrated systems.
- Used Dynatrace to monitor end-to-end application health, analyse distributed traces, identify bottlenecks,



and provide root cause analysis across application, middleware, database, and infrastructure layers.
- Worked closely with developers, DBAs, infrastructure engineers, and DevOps teams to analyse bottlenecks, tune applications, optimise SQL queries, and improve overall system performance.
- Integrated performance testing into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated execution, continuous performance validation, and rapid feedback during release cycles.
- Prepared executive-level performance reports, dashboards, trend analysis, capacity assessments, and optimisation recommendations, presenting findings to project leadership and business stakeholders.
- Managed performance testing resources, coordinated execution activities, assigned work, tracked progress, and mentored team members to ensure successful project delivery.
- Supported release governance by providing performance sign-off recommendations based on execution results, identified risks, SLA compliance, and production readiness assessments.
- Facilitated performance test planning workshops, defect triage sessions, and stakeholder reviews to ensure alignment across business, development, and operations teams.
- Drove continuous improvement initiatives by enhancing performance testing processes, frameworks, tooling, automation, and reporting capabilities to improve efficiency and reduce execution effort.
- Provided technical leadership and mentoring to performance engineers, promoting best practices in performance engineering, root cause analysis, capacity planning, and application optimisation.
