What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative Agile team where I can lead automation efforts, expand test coverage, drive release quality, and grow into a QA leadership or test-architecture role.

I am an experienced and versatile Software Development Engineer in Test with over 6 years focused on full-stack quality assurance, blending manual strategy with robust automation to deliver reliable products.

I have led QA efforts for major releases, automated 200+ test cases with Cypress (JavaScript), and reduced regression cycle time by 60%, while also validating REST APIs with Postman and ensuring accessibility compliance.

I collaborate closely with development and product teams in Agile environments, author detailed test plans and cases, manage defect lifecycles in JIRA, and continuously improve test frameworks and efficiency using reusable components and AI-assisted test generation.
