What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment where I can enhance software quality and contribute to innovative projects.

I am a quality-focused Software QA Engineer with hands-on experience in both manual and automated testing across web, mobile, and API-based applications. My proven ability to deliver high-quality software in Agile environments is complemented by my skills in test planning, test automation using tools like Selenium and Cypress, and API validation with Postman and Charles Proxy.

Throughout my career, I have been adept at identifying and resolving issues early in the development cycle, which has significantly improved product reliability and team collaboration. My experience includes roles at Unity Technologies, WISI America, and Change Healthcare, where I contributed to functional, regression, and exploratory testing, as well as automated UI tests and CI/CD integration. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to enhance software quality and drive continuous improvement.
