What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth in automation and software development.

I am a dedicated QA Automation Developer with a strong background in developing and maintaining comprehensive testing frameworks. Currently, I work at IBM, where I focus on ensuring rigorous quality assurance standards for IBM Watsonx APIs and UI components. My expertise in Java and Selenium has allowed me to orchestrate continuous integration of automated testing, significantly enhancing the efficiency of our development release lifecycle.

Previously, I contributed to Platform Science, where I developed testing architectures for IoT-based fleet management solutions and conducted performance tests on AWS-hosted API services. My collaborative approach with cross-functional teams has consistently improved product reliability and deployment efficiency. I pride myself on my ability to leverage scripting languages like Python, JavaScript, and Bash to expedite regression issue tracking, achieving a 23% improvement in turnover.
