What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can drive Selenium/Java automation, strengthen SDLC quality, and use AI-assisted testing to improve coverage and efficiency. I want an Agile team focused on collaboration, clear ownership, and continuous improvement.

I’m a Professional Quality Assurance Engineer with 5+ years of experience in manual and automation testing of web-based applications. I build and maintain automation frameworks using the Page Object Model (POM) and have strong hands-on testing across multiple SDLC phases.

In my current role, I develop and execute automated test scripts using Selenium and Java, and I use AI-assisted tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT to support test case creation, automation scripting, and defect analysis. I also analyze failures, investigate root causes with engineers, and generate weekly testing status reports while performing UAT.

I’ve delivered end-to-end QA work at scale, including smoke, regression, and functional test suites, and I manage data validation using SQL while performing API testing with Postman. I create QA test plans and test cases based on business workflow and user stories using Zephyr and QMetry for Jira.

I’m ISTQB Certified and certified in Agile/Scrum (SAFe Scrum Master, Professional Scrum Master), and I bring a customer-focused approach to meeting and exceeding client expectations. I’m at my best in Agile/Scrum teams where quality, communication, and continuous improvement are valued.
