01 — About Me

A QA Engineer Who
Loves Breaking Things

I'm Saroj Raj Tiwari, a Software QA Engineer with 4+ years of hands-on experience ensuring software quality in the US healthcare domain.

At Cedar Gate Technologies, I test Payment Technology applications — running functional, regression, smoke, and API tests to keep production bulletproof. I've grown from Associate QA to leading juniors and independently managing full QA lifecycles.

"I independently handled QA for a Data De-Identification project in collaboration with the Jetstore team — deepening my SQL skills and delivering the product end-to-end as a solo QA lead."

Beyond code and bugs, I was a Computer Science Lecturer at New Millennium School, where I taught, mentored, and built curriculum — proof that I love helping others grow.

Data De-Identification & PHI: How We Meet Healthcare Security Standards
