What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute structured manual, API, regression, and performance testing skills in an Agile team, collaborating closely with developers to improve test coverage, resolve defects, and deliver reliable software.

I've tested web applications at VertexInvo, designing functional, regression, and compatibility test cases across five-plus major browsers and mobile viewports to reduce UI edge cases before production.

I validate RESTful APIs in Postman through JSON payloads, HTTP status codes, and request-response contracts, while using SQL to confirm backend data integrity. I also logged, assigned, and tracked more than 100 defects in Jira, collaborating with developers to keep sprint releases moving within defined SLAs.

As a Faculty Member at Aptech, I mentor 50-plus students in QA workflows, Git, Postman, SQL, defect tracking, and Agile practices. I create hands-on learning around test design, API fundamentals, database management, and end-to-end project testing.

My EventSphere QA project strengthened my end-to-end testing experience across functional, UI, and API workflows for a MERN event management platform.
