## About

```text
At Liquidware, I test Stratusphere UX and FIT2025 across functional, regression, and integration releases. I validate REST APIs and JSON payloads, use SQL to check data across application and reporting layers, and contributed Bash and Python scripts that shorten the regression cycle.

At HP Inc., I designed and executed test plans for consumer laptop platforms and led a small distributed QA team. Earlier, I tested VESTA 911 at Airbus Defense and Space and enterprise management applications at Symantec / VERITAS Software Corporation, covering functional, integration, regression, and acceptance testing.
