Transitioning QA/SDET with strong automation, inspection, and root-cause expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented QA/SDET transitioning from high-precision fabrication and technical inspection into software quality assurance, specializing in test automation with Java, Python, Selenium, and Pytest. I combine hands-on experience in root cause analysis, technical documentation, and defect lifecycle management to deliver reliable, defect-free releases.
My background includes creating and validating annotated datasets, building automated test suites, and performing rigorous manual and regression testing for complex systems. I collaborate cross-functionally, communicate findings to stakeholders, and continuously improve test coverage and process quality.
