Data Migration Validation & Testing

• Develop and maintain omnipotent (comprehensive, reusable) data validation scripts to verify migrated data after each migration cycle in test environments.
• Validate record counts, referential integrity, field-level transformations, and business rule consistency across environments.
• Identify and analyze data discrepancies, collaborating with developers and data teams to resolve issues.
• Maintain documentation for data validation procedures, testing outcomes, and transformation logic.
• Support system, integration, and user acceptance testing (UAT) by creating and executing test cases.
• Log and manage defects and testing results using Azure DevOps.

Agile/Scrum Collaboration

• Serve as an active member of a cross-functional, self-managed Scrum team responsible for delivering working software increments.
• Participate in all Scrum ceremonies—including daily stand-ups, sprint planning, reviews, and retrospectives.
