What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an Agile, collaborative role where I can lead QA efforts, combine manual and automated testing, leverage CI/CD and AI-assisted tools, work in regulated domains (HR/healthcare/finance), and grow into technical leadership.

I am an ISTQB-certified QA professional with 8+ years of experience across healthcare, HR, and financial domains, focused on manual, functional, regression and compliance testing. I build and execute test plans, test cases, regression cycles, and UAT to ensure product quality and traceability.

I have strong hands-on experience in API testing (Postman, JMeter, REST API validation), database validation using SQL/MySQL, and integrating automated suites (Selenium, Playwright, BDD/Cucumber) into Jenkins CI/CD pipelines. I collaborate closely with automation engineers to align BDD scenarios and hybrid test strategies, and I report and track defects using Jira and test management tools.

I leverage AI/LLM-assisted QA practices to generate test scenarios, enhance exploratory coverage, and support defect triage, and I champion risk-based testing and process improvements guided by CSV/GAMP5 principles.
