What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, values quality, and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a passionate QA professional with extensive experience in manual testing and a recent focus on automation. My hands-on experience with tools like WebdriverIO and Appium has enabled me to contribute effectively to both web and mobile application testing. I thrive on improving testing efficiency and software quality, ensuring that products meet the highest standards.

In my current role at Cognizant Softvision, I have designed and executed comprehensive test plans, performed thorough API testing, and collaborated closely with developers to resolve issues swiftly. My commitment to Agile methodologies has allowed me to actively participate in sprint planning and retrospectives, fostering a collaborative team environment. I take pride in mentoring junior QA members and sharing best practices to enhance our team's overall performance.

Previously, I served as a Project Manager with testing responsibilities, where I led Agile ceremonies and ensured project quality through meticulous testing and documentation. My background as a Lead Data Analyst has further honed my analytical skills, enabling me to identify functional gaps and improve internal processes. I am dedicated to continuous learning and contributing to the success of my team and organization.
