What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Quality Assurance Analyst with over 10 years of experience in both manual and automated testing within Agile environments.

I developed reusable automation scripts that enhanced test efficiency by 50% and integrated automated accessibility testing, which reduced build verification time by 35%. My commitment to mentoring junior QA engineers has significantly boosted team productivity, demonstrating my leadership capabilities.
Previously, as a Senior QA at Augusta Hitech, I created and maintained Selenium WebDriver scripts that cut regression testing time by 40%. I also designed REST API test suites for over 100 endpoints, improving integration reliability by 25%. My experience at Tata Consultancy Services further solidified my skills in developing test strategies aligned with business requirements, achieving a 100% defect closure rate pre-release. I am passionate about continuous improvement and fostering a culture of quality in every project I undertake.
