Maemo Maponya

I’m a QA Engineer with 8 years’ experience in the testing field and 10 years across the IT development industry. I focus on creating, executing, and maintaining test suites that improve confidence in releases.

In my Test Automation Engineer role, I designed and wrote automation scripts using test automation frameworks, investigated defects found through testing, and partnered with QA analysts and software developers to drive solutions. I also trained new interns and supported adoption of repeatable testing practices.

I’ve worked across manual and automation testing, including functional/regression automation, test data management support, execution and reporting of automation progress/results, and managing/escalating defects to the right teams. I’ve assisted with implementing and improving automation framework standards and ensured team processes are followed.

My hands-on background includes building and migrating frameworks and suites—such as assisting in a TestNG framework with Selenium and Java and converting test suites from Katalon to Selenium (including reporting improvements). I bring strong problem-solving, SDLC understanding, and a work ethic that helps teams perform well under pressure and meet deadlines.
