What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative Agile team role where I can expand automation, improve QA processes, and deliver reliable web/mobile software.

I am a QA Engineer with over two years of hands-on experience delivering quality for banking and startup projects. I specialize in designing test cases and building automation frameworks to ensure reliable web and mobile applications.

I have implemented automated regression suites using Java, Selenium WebDriver, TestNG and Cucumber, and integrated tests into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to accelerate release cycles. I also perform API testing with Postman and Swagger and validate backend workflows with Oracle and MySQL.

In cross-functional Agile teams I use Jira and Xray for test management, execute smoke and UAT scenarios, and actively contribute to sprint planning and retrospectives. I have experience debugging APIs with Charles Proxy and Fiddler and managing test artifacts with TestRail and Notion.

I communicate fluently in Azerbaijani, Turkish, Russian and English and seek roles where I can drive test automation, improve QA processes, and help deliver high-quality software in collaborative environments.
