What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, embraces Agile practices, and offers opportunities for professional growth in quality assurance.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Software Test Engineer with hands-on experience in manual and automation testing, as well as quality assurance across web and mobile applications. My proficiency in creating and executing test plans, test cases, and test scripts using tools like Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, and JIRA has allowed me to contribute significantly to product excellence and drive continuous improvement in QA processes.

Throughout my career, I have successfully performed end-to-end testing, focusing on functionality, usability, and compliance with industry standards. I have a strong understanding of SDLC, STLC, and Agile methodologies, which enables me to identify bugs effectively and perform various types of testing, including regression, functional, smoke, and integration testing. My passion for ensuring robust software quality drives me to automate functional and regression test scenarios, enhancing script reusability and modularity.
