I build and lead scalable QA automation, performance testing, and CI/CD quality practices for digital platforms.
EthiopiaWhat I'm looking for
I'm leading QA activities for digital financing platforms at Kifiya Financial Technology, testing web, mobile, APIs, and service-to-service integrations while supporting automation initiatives and mentoring QA engineers.
At Safaricom Ethiopia, I design and execute performance tests with JMeter and k6, analyze bottlenecks, prepare performance reports, and advise stakeholders on quality and performance improvements.
Across Shega Media & Technology and Code & Care's CFC Project, I've led manual and automation testing across UI, API, performance, and security domains. I've defined QA standards and release strategies, evaluated automation tools, built automation architecture, and integrated scalable test suites into CI/CD pipelines.
I bring 6+ years of experience across fintech, telecom, media, and enterprise projects, with hands-on work in Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Appium, JavaScript, TypeScript, and API testing. I enjoy building test frameworks from scratch, improving QA practices, and helping Agile teams deliver reliable products.
