What I'm looking for

I want to lead SQA and test automation in fast-paced Agile teams—building durable frameworks, improving automation coverage, and partnering with BAs and Devs to deliver reliable web, mobile, and API quality.

I’m a Lead Software Quality Assurance Engineer with 6 years of experience specializing in test automation, functional and non-functional testing, and test leadership. I focus on delivering top-quality software by strengthening QA & QC processes across SDLC & STLC.

I build robust automation frameworks using C# .NET and Playwright, while also covering Selenium-based and API testing workflows. I’ve led end-to-end test planning and execution, including test strategy, test plan, test cases, and detailed SQA reports such as test summary and test execution reports.

In my leadership work, I mentored a team of 5 testers—boosting automation coverage by 30% and cutting manual testing time by 25%. I also coach teams on automation best practices, review specs and user stories, and ensure accurate issue logging and traceability in tools like Azure DevOps.

I’m especially strong in Agile cross-functional collaboration, verifying APIs and database implementation, and designing testing approaches like schema validation, seed data preparation, and response mocking. Previously, I supported mobile and web projects using tools such as Selenium WebDriver, NUnit, Cucumber BDD, Appium, MongoDB, Microsoft SQL, Docker, and JMeter.
