What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in a dynamic environment that values quality and innovation, offering opportunities for collaboration and continuous improvement in software quality assurance and automation.

As a Senior Software QA Engineer with over 7 years of experience, I specialize in driving quality excellence through advanced testing strategies and automation. My expertise lies in integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, utilizing tools like Cypress, Playwright, and Appium to enhance script clarity and reduce execution times. I have successfully improved test coverage, deployment speed, and defect-free releases across various projects.

In my current role at Fiserv, I achieved a 98.3% defect-free release on a critical project, earning company-wide recognition. I designed automation frameworks that reduced testing time by 18% and improved deployment speed by 27%. My contributions have consistently focused on reducing manual testing time, increasing test coverage, and improving overall software quality.

My technical proficiency spans a wide range of tools and methodologies, including QA automation tools, programming languages, API testing, frameworks, CI/CD tools, performance testing, bug tracking, and agile methodologies. I am passionate about collaborating with cross-functional teams to resolve production defects and deliver high-quality software solutions that exceed client expectations.
