QA Engineer with nearly 2 years in manual and automation testing for web and mobile products.
What I'm looking for
I’m a QA Engineer with nearly 2 years of experience delivering quality for web and mobile products in Agile / Scrum environments. I bring a detail-oriented, quality-first mindset to every release, using disciplined test planning, execution, and defect analysis.
In my recent roles, I’ve authored and executed large, structured test suites—100+ test cases across multiple features in Jira and 6,500+ test cases validating 92% of product requirements. I partner closely with developers and stakeholders to close requirement gaps pre-development and provide quality risk summaries that support release decisions.
I focus on measurable outcomes: I cut defect leakage by 28% and achieved an 85% first-fix rate on 100+ logged bugs through root cause analysis in ClickUp and API validation with Postman. I also reduced manual regression effort by 40% by automating critical journeys with Cypress + JavaScript, and I built mobile automation scripts using Appium + WebdriverIO that surfaced 25+ defects.
On the automation side, I’ve built a production-style Selenium + Java framework (POM classes, explicit waits, and CI/CD using Jenkins + GitHub Actions with Extent Reports). I’m also experienced with manual API and cross-page validation in systems like the ETA Engine, where I improved delivery date accuracy by ~30% and supported business goals through faster, more reliable release cycles.
