What I'm looking for

I seek an SQA or automation role where I can lead testing initiatives, improve test automation and CI/CD, work in Agile teams, and drive measurable quality improvements.

I am a detail-oriented Software Quality Assurance engineer with 5+ years of experience in manual and automated testing, Agile methodologies, and cross-functional collaboration. I specialize in building automation suites and reducing defect leakage to ensure reliable software delivery.

I have led QA teams and served as QA Lead and Scrum Master, improving test cycle efficiency by 25%, reducing bug recurrence by 40%, and increasing defect resolution rate by 60%. I design test plans, write SRS documentation, and contribute to CI/CD and architecture discussions.

I work with Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Java, and Postman while using Azure DevOps, Jira, and Trello to drive automation, integrate AI-based tools for scalability, and shorten UAT feedback cycles by 35%.
