What I'm looking for

I’m looking to grow as a QA Automation Tester in Agile teams, owning end-to-end functional, API, and UI automation, strengthening CI/CD test pipelines, and improving quality outcomes—especially in banking—through clear defect management and continuous optimization.

I’m a QA Automation Tester with 6 years of experience in Manual and Automation testing in the banking domain. I focus on functional, regression, and Integration testing with a shift left approach, and I’m ISTQB Foundation Level and Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certified.

I build and maintain end-to-end automation using Playwright, Cucumber, Selenium, and Karate Framework, and I integrate test execution into CI/CD with Jenkins. In my recent role, I automated 50 UI test scenarios with Selenium and improved test efficiency by 25%, and I created a Release Validation Test in Karate Framework that reduced integration errors by 30%—while handling defect management in JIRA and supporting teams through UAT analysis and leadership standups.
