What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative Agile team role focused on test automation and quality leadership, opportunities to mentor others, work on scalable frameworks, and grow in DevOps and mobile testing practices.

I am a results-driven QA Engineer with strong expertise in test automation and manual testing, experienced in building scalable frameworks with Playwright, Selenium, and JavaScript. I have led automation efforts that significantly reduced regression time and production bugs, and I mentor peers on automation best practices while collaborating closely with developers and product managers.

During my career I developed end-to-end test strategies, performed API and database testing, and improved product quality for e-commerce and retail platforms. I continuously learn DevOps and mobile testing tools, and I prioritize delivering high-quality software through rigorous test planning, clear defect documentation, and agile collaboration.
