What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can own manual and API testing, collaborate closely with developers, and improve onboarding/transaction or patient flows through clear test cases, defect tracking, and risk-aware release readiness.

I’m a detail-oriented Software QA Engineer with a strong foundation in manual and API testing. I execute functional, regression, smoke, sanity, UI/UX, and exploratory tests to help teams catch critical issues before release—especially in fintech and healthtech environments.

In my most recent role, I served as the sole manual tester for a new fintech mobile application. I designed and executed comprehensive test cases, validated API behavior with Postman, and reported UI/UX defects while collaborating closely with the product team to improve onboarding and transaction flows.

Earlier, I ensured application stability through daily smoke and sanity checks, documented testing procedures, and supported development teams with clear defect tracking and feedback. I also tested patient management systems with HIPAA compliance, managed the defect lifecycle end-to-end, and gained hands-on automation experience using Selenium (Java) and TestNG.
