QA Test Engineer focused on manual, automation, and API testing excellence.
What I'm looking for
I’m a detail-oriented QA Test Engineer with 3+ years of experience delivering defect-free software across EdTech, Recruitment, and Loyalty SaaS domains. I’m known for building hybrid automation frameworks and driving Shift-Left quality to catch issues early.
I specialize in Selenium WebDriver (Java) and Appium, with strong API testing using Postman and REST Assured. I create robust, data-driven test suites (including Page Object Model and Selenium Grid) to validate end-to-end flows across mobile and web.
In Agile/Scrum teams, I own quality activities end-to-end—from exploratory testing and accessibility audits to requirements traceability and Root Cause Analysis. I’ve built Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) and created Jira documentation that streamlines defect tracking and client sign-off.
I integrate QA into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and GitHub Actions and have a proven track record of achieving zero critical production defects across multiple releases. I bring cross-platform validation skills to ensure consistent user behavior across supported environments.
