What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning in QA.

I am an experienced and results-driven QA professional with over 7 years of expertise in software testing, test strategy development, and cross-functional collaboration. My proficiency spans both manual and automated testing across web and desktop applications, ensuring quality delivery through continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) processes. I am adept at aligning test practices with Agile methodologies, mentoring junior team members, and engaging stakeholders to drive process improvement.

In my current role as a Senior R&D Member of Technical Staff at AVEVA, I lead QA activities across multiple modules, designing and maintaining robust automation frameworks using Selenium and TestNG within a CI/CD pipeline. My collaborative approach with development and business stakeholders ensures comprehensive test coverage and high-quality standards. I take pride in mentoring junior QA engineers, establishing best practices, and contributing to release planning and defect triage.
