What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and innovation in QA and test automation.

I am an experienced Test Automation Engineer with a proven track record of successfully creating and managing automation projects. My expertise lies in utilizing a variety of test automation technologies to conduct both manual and automated testing for web and mobile frameworks built in Java, Python, and C#. I am ISTQB certified in various areas, including CTFL and CTFL-AT, and I am committed to staying on the cutting edge of new approaches and technologies.

Currently, I serve as an Automation Test Lead at FOODICS, where I deliver initial estimates for testing efforts, participate in daily standup meetings, and manage defect resolution with third-party suppliers. My leadership skills enable me to guide my team on best practices, mentor junior members, and ensure that our testing efforts align with project timelines and budgets. I have extensive experience in defining, designing, and delivering comprehensive testing work, including functional, integration, and regression testing.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various testing tools and frameworks, including Selenium, Appium, and Rest Assured, and I have a solid understanding of the software development life cycle. I am passionate about driving continuous quality improvement through automation and am always looking for opportunities to enhance testing processes and methodologies.
