What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated QA professional with over 8 years of hands-on experience in manual testing and a solid working knowledge of test automation. My expertise spans mobile application testing (iOS & Android), web testing, API validation, and end-to-end functional testing. I’ve been part of critical transitions like migrating from native apps to React-based platforms, ensuring stability, usability, and performance across releases.
Throughout my career, I’ve taken ownership of writing detailed test plans, managing test cycles, identifying critical issues, and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams. I enjoy diving deep into user journeys, catching edge-case scenarios, and ensuring the product works not just as expected, but delightfully.
While manual QA remains my core strength, I’ve also contributed to automation using Appium with Java, API testing using RestAssured, and have experience with Jenkins for CI workflows. On iOS, I’ve worked with XCUITest to support platform-specific quality checks.
Beyond testing, I’m passionate about quality advocacy, improving testing processes, and staying up to date with QA trends, especially in AI-assisted testing and low-code test tools. I value clear communication, a team-first mindset, and a user-centric approach to quality.
Currently based in India, I am open to remote roles globally and am available to join immediately. I’m looking to contribute to impactful products with teams that care about quality, innovation, and collaboration.
