@ajmalchamkanay
QA Test Engineer with expertise in automation and manual testing.
What I'm looking for
With over 8 years of experience in both manual and automated testing, I specialize in ensuring the quality and compliance of federal and enterprise systems. My journey has taken me through various roles, where I have honed my skills in automation frameworks, stakeholder collaboration, and test environment management. I am passionate about leveraging my technical expertise to contribute to high-stakes government projects.
At REI Systems, I spearheaded a significant manual-to-automation conversion, which reduced regression testing time by 50%. My role as a primary point of contact for HHS HRSA allowed me to translate complex business requirements into comprehensive test cases, achieving 100% requirement coverage. I take pride in my ability to manage environments that align with federal security standards, ensuring that all processes are audit-ready.
My previous experiences at FedEx and T-Mobile further solidified my capabilities in test automation and CI/CD integration. I have successfully built frameworks that enhance testing efficiency and have maintained high resolution rates for defects. I am committed to continuous improvement and am eager to bring my skills to new challenges in the QA domain.
