Hi, I'm Zaigham R. Qureshi.
I’m a Software Quality Assurance and Test Architect with over 13 years of experience across the full Software Development and Testing Lifecycles (SDLC/STLC). With a strong foundation in Business Analysis, System Integration Testing, Exploratory Testing, and Test Automation, I’ve led quality initiatives across mobile, web, and enterprise systems, always with a sharp eye for detail and a deep commitment to engineering excellence.
Beyond the technical, I love sharing knowledge and empowering others, helping aspiring professionals build confidence, overcome challenges, and discover their true potential. I believe that sharing knowledge and supporting others’ growth fuels my own development and passion for learning. My journey taught me that real growth comes from stepping outside your comfort zone and I bring that philosophy into every session, project, and collaboration.
I’m passionate about enabling transformation, not just in software, but in people. That’s why I’ve built a career that blends hands-on QA leadership with impactful mentorship.
I'm also an active mentor with the Brunel University Professional Mentoring Programme for over five years, where I’ve guided students on assignments, projects, CV building, interview tips and preparation as well as soft skills development. Working with future minds and watching them thrive has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my professional career.
I enjoy connecting with fellow QA and technology enthusiasts on weekends by organising meetup sessions focused on ISTQB Software Testing Certification. These interactive gatherings explore theoretical concepts, practical applications, and exam strategies, providing participants with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to advance their careers.
