What I'm looking for
As a Senior Quality Assurance Automation Engineer with over a decade of experience, I have honed my skills in Agile software development environments, focusing on delivering high-quality software solutions.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led initiatives that significantly improved testing efficiency and reduced regression testing time by 40%. My role at FedTec involved designing automated test scripts using Selenium and WebDriverIO, conducting API testing with Postman and REST-assured, and integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins.
