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.
