What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement in QA processes.

I'm an experienced QA Specialist with over 9 years in quality assurance, test automation, and test strategy across various sectors including finance, insurance, HR, and e-commerce. My expertise lies in utilizing AI-driven testing tools and CI/CD automation to optimize QA workflows in Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid environments. I have a proven track record of reducing testing time by up to 30% through process improvements and leading test teams effectively.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my strategic leadership and strong stakeholder engagement. I am ISTQB certified and adept in REST API testing, shift-left approaches, and using test automation frameworks like Selenium, Playwright, and Cypress to ensure software quality. My commitment to continuous improvement drives me to lead initiatives that enhance collaboration and efficiency within QA processes.
