What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an agile team where I can own end-to-end QA (manual, API, data, and AI validation) and scale regression with automation in CI/CD—partnering closely with product and engineering to continuously improve quality.

I’m a QA Analyst with 5+ years of Software Quality Assurance experience, combining deep manual testing expertise with hands-on test automation. I’ve supported quality across banking, fintech, mobility, data, and AI-driven solutions—covering functional, exploratory, regression, integration, API, and user acceptance testing (UAT) throughout the testing lifecycle.

In agile squads, I own the work from test planning and design through execution and defect management, while also contributing to requirements analysis, acceptance criteria definition, scope validation, and risk assessment. I build and improve automation initiatives with Robot Framework, Appium, and Selenium, and I’ve integrated pipelines using CI/CD tooling like Jenkins; I also validate APIs with Postman/Swagger and data through platforms such as Databricks, PostgreSQL, and Oracle. I enjoy partnering cross-functionally, including QA activities for AI and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) solutions, and collaborating on experimentation with IBM RPA and WatsonX AI.
