What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role that allows me to leverage my testing expertise and contribute to high-quality software delivery in a collaborative environment.

I am a Quality Analyst with 4 years of experience specializing in software testing, particularly in performance, API, web, and mobile test automation. My journey has been marked by significant achievements, including improving throughput by 25% and reducing response times by 40% in critical banking applications. I have a strong background in performance testing using tools like Gatling, K6, and Lighthouse, and I am adept at conducting endurance, spike, and stress testing to ensure optimal system performance.

My experience extends to mobile application testing using Detox and Appium, where I have independently managed the complete feature testing lifecycle, achieving a remarkable 98% on-time delivery rate with zero critical post-release defects. I am also proficient in using CI/CD tools such as GoCD and CircleCI, and I have hands-on experience with performance analysis tools like Grafana and Jaeger. My commitment to quality and continuous improvement drives me to deliver exceptional results in every project I undertake.
