Detail-oriented IT professional with expertise in software quality assurance.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented and proactive IT professional with over 4 years of experience, including nearly 3 years in Software Quality Assurance and 1 year as a Software Engineer. Recently, I served as Project Lead for a healthcare project, where I managed cross-functional QA teams and ensured high-quality releases. My skills encompass both manual and automated testing, API and performance testing, and QA leadership. I am proficient with tools such as Selenium, Playwright, JMeter, Postman, and SQL, and I have a strong background in collaborating with Project Managers, Developers, DevOps engineers, and UI/UX teams throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, including reducing testing cycle time by 30%, mentoring junior QA engineers, and leading QA for multiple projects with zero critical defects. My technical proficiency in Java and test automation frameworks, coupled with a passion for continuous learning and integrating testing into CI/CD pipelines, positions me as a valuable asset to any team. I thrive in Agile environments and am committed to delivering high-quality software solutions.
