What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth, collaboration, and the chance to work on innovative testing solutions.

I am a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with over 3 years of experience in testing web-based and client/server applications. My expertise lies in designing, developing, and maintaining test environments for UI, database, and API testing. I have a strong foundation in Agile Scrum methodologies and am familiar with Waterfall methodologies, which allows me to adapt to various project requirements effectively.

Throughout my career, I have built reusable automation frameworks using Selenium, Java, and Maven, significantly boosting testing efficiency by 40%. I have automated a substantial portion of regression test cases using Cucumber and TestNG, resulting in considerable time savings. My experience in continuous integration and version control has enabled me to streamline Jenkins-based CI/CD pipelines, reducing build validation time by 50%. I pride myself on my analytical skills and my ability to communicate effectively with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment on project goals.
