What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovation in quality assurance.

With over 5 years of experience in both Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), I specialize in diverse testing methodologies including regression, functional, scenario, and user experience testing. My expertise spans across multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Mac, and I am proficient in both manual and automated testing approaches. I have successfully guided teams of engineers in implementing best practices for manual testing, ensuring high-quality software delivery.

Currently, as a Senior Software QA Engineer at Sphere Software Labs, I achieved a 35% reduction in regression testing time by automating 400 test cases, significantly enhancing efficiency and reliability. My role involves collaborating with QA analysts to establish robust quality assurance benchmarks and leading Agile transformation initiatives as a Scrum Master. My previous experience includes notable achievements such as reducing CI/CD build time by 25% and enhancing user experience for over 2,000 active users through critical defect identification and resolution.
