Senior QA Engineer driving reliable enterprise web and mobile releases through manual and API testing.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking to help deliver stable, production-ready releases in Agile teams—combining manual, API, and backend data validation with automation (Selenium/UFT One/Puppeteer) to improve quality, troubleshoot defects, and support cross-functional stakeholders.

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience testing enterprise web and mobile applications in Agile environments. I focus on manual testing, regression testing, API validation, backend data testing, and release verification across large-scale, integration-heavy systems.

In my recent role, I performed functional, regression, smoke, integration, and UAT testing for enterprise FEMA web and mobile applications, using Postman for API validation and SQL for backend data integrity. I also supported production smoke testing and deployment verification while validating AI-assisted adjudication workflows in a secure government environment, ensuring compliance and quality.

Previously at BNSF Logistics and as a contractor supporting Goodyear through Innosource, I created and maintained test plans and cases, collaborated across product and engineering, and partnered closely with developers to track, retest, and close defects. I bring hands-on automation experience with Selenium, UFT One, and Puppeteer, plus tools like HP ALM and Azure DevOps, and I’ve mentored junior QA engineers to strengthen testing and defect management practices.
