What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can own automation and API testing, integrate into CI/CD, and work in Agile teams. I want a place that values quality, clean frameworks, and continuous improvement to ship reliable software.

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 4+ years of experience delivering reliable software quality through automated and manual testing. I’m known for a strong can-do attitude, mature teamwork, and staying effective under pressure while meeting strict deadlines.

I build and maintain automation using Java, Selenium WebDriver, Playwright, and Appium, including cross-browser and cross-device stability. I also integrate automated tests into Azure DevOps pipelines and work with full test lifecycles—test case design, execution, defect reporting, and continuous improvements.

Across my roles, I’ve created comprehensive test coverage using tools like Xray and Zephyr Scale, designed reusable framework components, and developed API test suites with Rest Assured and TestNG (plus Postman/SoapUI). I work comfortably in Agile (Scrum/Kanban), manage tasks in Jira, and partner with engineering teams to solve complex problems—streamlining automation capabilities that improved the test lifecycle by 80%.
