Mariyam Ashraf

I’m an ISTQB-certified Software QA Engineer with over three years of experience delivering quality across web and API platforms in SaaS and fintech environments. I focus on defect prevention and release confidence by applying Shift-Left Testing and integrating QA into CI/CD.

At Folio3, I designed and maintained a modular Selenium WebDriver + Behave (Python BDD) automation framework that improved regression efficiency and reduced reliance on manual test cycles. I also led QA strategy for SquareTrade’s international SaaS platform, helping reduce critical post-release defects and improving client satisfaction.

I build end-to-end test coverage that teams can trust: functional and regression testing, API validation with Postman, and performance/load testing with JMeter. I integrate automated smoke and regression suites into Jenkins and GitHub Actions so quality gating happens on every build, not after the fact.

In Agile/Scrum work, I actively participate in sprint ceremonies and collaborate closely with developers, product owners, and DevOps to keep defects moving through their full lifecycle in JIRA. I’m also comfortable working in fully remote and distributed teams, delivering fast feedback through exploratory, sanity, and UAT-focused testing.
