What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and adaptive Quality Assurance Engineer with extensive experience in software development and testing. My journey in the tech industry has equipped me with a robust skill set in test automation, project management, and software product design. I have a proven track record of enhancing product quality through meticulous testing and innovative automation strategies.
During my tenure at Waer Systems, I successfully built an automation testing framework in Java using Selenium and TestNG, significantly reducing regression testing time. My role involved coordinating with developers and manual testers to prioritize automation areas, ensuring that critical features were thoroughly tested. I also introduced automation testing into the existing CI/CD pipeline, showcasing my commitment to continuous improvement and efficiency.
As a Quality Assurance Engineer at Cassava Technologies, I advocated for the shift-left strategy, ensuring that quality assurance was integrated early in the software development lifecycle. My ability to manage international partnerships and communicate effectively with stakeholders has been instrumental in delivering high-quality products that meet industry standards.
