What I'm looking for
I’m a results-oriented Senior QA Engineer with 14+ years of progressive experience delivering high-quality software through structured STLC and SDLC practices. I design test strategies from scratch, lead QA teams, and drive comprehensive coverage across manual, automation, API, and security testing—backed by ISTQB, EHCE, and Agile Testing Alliance certifications.
Across hospitality, fintech, e-commerce, and contact center domains, I’ve built and optimized QA processes, managed quality gates in Agile environments, and strengthened defect life cycle tracking and reporting. I’m hands-on with Selenium WebDriver (Java), Apache JMeter, Postman, and security tooling like Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP to identify bottlenecks, validate integrations, and improve release confidence—turning test execution into actionable insights for stakeholders.
