I’m a Quality Engineering/Automation intern who turns requirements into effective test coverage. I balance manual testing with automation to validate banking features end to end with confidence.

At a banking internship, I translate business and functional requirements into manual test cases and then execute both manual and automated UI tests. I develop and run automation tests using Selenium, Playwright, and Cucumber BDD, and I track defects in Jira while collaborating closely with developers and QA engineers. I also work within Agile workflows using Microsoft Teams and Jira for communication and task management.

My testing experience extends to real document-processing workflows, including manual validation for an Encapture web portal and batch storage testing within a document management system. I verify classification, upload behavior, and data handling to ensure reliable system responses during processing.

I complement my QA work with technical projects and community involvement. I helped build an MNIST handwritten-digit recognition model in Python, supported a map-based web app for music activity, and participate in ACM to promote awareness of AI technologies and responsible development practices.
