What I'm looking for
As a dedicated QA Analyst, I excel in software testing and quality assurance, with hands-on experience in both manual and automated testing methodologies.

Additionally, I automated repetitive test scenarios, streamlining testing processes and reducing manual testing time by 25%.
Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in various testing tools, including Jira, Zephyr, and Postman.
