What I'm looking for

I am looking for a QA automation role where I can apply my experience in Selenium, Playwright, regression testing, and API validation to improve test coverage and release quality. I am particularly interested in working with teams that value automation, collaboration, and continuous improvement in the software development process.

ISTQB-certified Principal/Staff QA Engineer with 14+ years of hands-on experience in manual and automation testing across web, mobile, and API platforms in fast-paced Agile environments. Currently at BOLD Technologies Ltd since 2016, I specialize in executing comprehensive test suites, developing and debugging Selenium/Playwright automation scripts, and ensuring reliable CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions. My technical expertise includes API testing with Postman and RestAssured, defect tracking in JIRA/TestLink, consistently delivering high-quality releases through close collaboration with developers and DevOps teams.

Key achievements include reducing test failure rates through script optimization, achieving 98% defect-free launches for projects like an Online Food Order Application (end-to-end testing with backend integration), and improving test case efficiency by 25% for an Insurance Plan Website. Earlier at Optimus Information Inc (2011-2016), I conducted functional/regression testing that cut defect rates by 15%. Passionate about open-source tools, containerization (Docker), and staying current with automation trends like AI-driven testing.

Professionally, I thrive as an individual contributor focused on deep technical execution rather than management, with strong debugging skills honed through Chrome DevTools, Postman, and WSL2/Ubuntu environments. Outside work, I enjoy coding practice, exploring DevOps tools, and following tech newsletters on automation and QA innovations. Eager to contribute my expertise to innovative teams building reliable software products.
