What I'm looking for

I am looking for a full-time role in a dynamic company that values quality assurance and offers opportunities for professional growth and development.

I am a dedicated Software QA Engineer with over six years of experience in both automation and manual testing across web, mobile, and API platforms. My expertise lies in building scalable test frameworks, enhancing QA processes, and delivering high-quality software in Agile environments. I am passionate about ensuring that products meet the highest standards of quality and functionality.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led QA efforts for multiple Australian startup projects, developed API automation scripts, and built UI automation frameworks using Selenium WebDriver and TestNG. My role as a Senior Quality Analyst at Ebpearls allowed me to mentor junior team members and contribute significantly to the success of various projects. I am currently seeking full-time opportunities where I can leverage my skills and experience to make a meaningful impact.
