I’m a Quality Assurance Analyst focused on delivering high-quality, reliable, and user-centric software through both manual and automated testing. I validate functionality, performance, and usability across the SDLC, using a proactive mindset to identify defects early and ensure alignment with quality standards and business requirements.

I’ve managed the full testing lifecycle, including test case creation, execution, maintenance, and reporting. In my work, I perform regression, exploratory, and ad hoc testing, write detailed bug reports, and collaborate closely with POs, PMs, DEVs, and other stakeholders to support efficient software delivery.

I’m also experienced in designing test scenarios for both manual and automated approaches, including API testing using Postman and working in agile environments. I’ve applied shift-left practices to surface issues earlier, and I maintain and improve regression coverage over time to strengthen continuous quality.

Before my current role, I built my QA foundation through QA Engineer and trainee/intern experience—helping define acceptance criteria (ATDD), participating in story mappings, and creating structured test plans and automation scripts. My background in competitive sports reinforced teamwork, discipline, adaptability, and communication, which helps me collaborate effectively in fast-paced, cross-functional teams.
