Senior QA Engineer specializing in manual and AI/LLM test validation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Software Quality Assurance Engineer with 7+ years of experience leading manual, functional, and exploratory testing across web, eCommerce, and API-driven platforms. I’m known for designing meticulous test cases, owning release sign-off, and surfacing high-impact defects that automation often misses.
I partner with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to drive end-to-end QA: risk assessment, regression planning, and end-to-end quality gates. In my recent role, I helped reduce production and deployment bugs by 25% and improved regression/end-to-end test cycle speed by 30% through risk-based prioritization and smarter test selection.
I also focus on GenAI and LLM validation—evaluating response accuracy, hallucinations, bias, and safety/guardrail behavior, including prompt injection resilience. Using ChatGPT, Claude, and GitHub Copilot, I compress test design time by formalizing prompt-based scenarios into reusable manual AI test suites.
To keep quality practical and fast, I blend automation-support where it matters (Playwright, Selenium, Cypress, Page Object Model, BDD/Cucumber) with hands-on API testing (Postman, REST Assured, Swagger/Newman) and thorough documentation. I mentor QA peers, champion shift-left practices, and help teams improve verification earlier through requirement walkthroughs, API contract reviews, and pre-merge validation.
