What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers opportunities for growth and challenges in software testing.

I am a dedicated SQA Engineer with extensive experience in software quality assurance and testing. Currently, I am working at Stella Technology, where I create and execute test plans, perform API testing using Postman, and track bugs via Jira. My journey in the field began with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Bahria University, which laid the foundation for my technical skills.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Test Analyst at LMK Resources, where I automated test cases and provided third-tier technical support. My experience also includes working as a Senior SQA Engineer at iGate Technologies, where I collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure quality throughout the software development lifecycle. I pride myself on my ability to write effective test cases and execute them meticulously, ensuring that software products meet the highest standards.
