What I'm looking for

I seek a role in QA or test automation within a collaborative, Agile/DevOps environment where I can drive quality, expand automation coverage, and contribute to CI/CD improvements.

I am a Senior Software QA tester with over 15 years of hands-on experience across the Software Development Life Cycle, skilled in manual and automation testing for web and mobile applications. I have worked with Agile, Waterfall, Kanban, and DevOps teams, contributing to CI/CD pipelines and cross‑regional collaborations.

Throughout my career I have created and executed test plans, test cases, and test data; performed frontend, backend, API and performance testing; and reported defects using industry tools like JIRA, TFS/VSTS, and Testlink. I have automated tests using Selenium (Java), Python scripts, Playwright, Cypress, and integrated testing with tools such as Jenkins, BrowserStack and Azure DevOps.

I consistently deliver high-quality test results, participate in sprint ceremonies, and communicate closely with development and product teams to resolve issues efficiently. I am dependable, adaptable, and focused on continuous improvement in test strategy and execution.
