What I'm looking for

I am seeking a QA/Test role where I can apply test automation and strong defect management within an Agile team, collaborate globally, and grow technical leadership.

I am a highly analytical Software Testing and Quality Engineer with extensive experience testing web and mobile applications across platforms. I specialize in requirements analysis, testcase design, and end-to-end functional verification to ensure reliable releases.

I have worked on Decision First™ Modeler (DFM) and multiple client projects, executing test plans, managing test data, and logging and tracking defects through closure using JIRA.

My technical strengths include API testing with Postman, Selenium WebDriver, SQL, TestNG, and performance and regression testing within Agile environments. I bring disciplined defect life-cycle management and strong troubleshooting skills.

As a bilingual professional with experience in Japanese culture and customer interactions, I collaborate effectively with global teams and stakeholders to validate requirements, improve product quality, and meet delivery timelines.
