What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values quality assurance and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an Automation Test Engineer with over 4 years of experience in both Manual and Automation Testing. My expertise lies in utilizing tools such as Selenium WebDriver, REST API Automation, and various testing frameworks to ensure the highest quality of software products. I have a solid understanding of Agile processes and am committed to serving as a value-adding member of the QA team.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led test planning and execution for multiple projects, collaborating closely with internal and external partners to deliver on agreed test activities. My experience includes creating automated test scripts for both front-end and back-end applications, as well as mentoring less experienced team members. I take pride in my ability to analyze business and technical requirements, develop comprehensive test plans, and communicate progress effectively to stakeholders.
