What I'm looking for

I seek QA roles focused on test automation and CI/CD in collaborative, Agile teams where I can improve product quality and scale reliable releases.

I am an Associate Quality Assurance Engineer with 1.5+ years of fintech and edtech testing experience, focused on test automation (Java/JBehave, Cypress, Selenium), API/GUI testing, and CI/CD integration with Jenkins. I have engineered and maintained large test suites and documentation, driving high defect resolution rates and catching critical bugs before production.

I collaborate closely with developers and DevOps teams, support regulatory and risk-model testing, and deliver measurable results such as 98% defect resolution, 95% detection of critical bugs, and significant efficiency gains across multiple releases and projects.
