What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to web, backend, and API quality through Java test automation, release validation, and close collaboration with product and engineering teams.

At Billie, I tested fintech backend services and REST APIs, validated data with SQL, investigated issues through Sentry and backend logs, and maintained Java, Cucumber, and Maven automated tests.

Previously at Frontier Car Group (OLX Autos), I supported functional, regression, acceptance, web, API, and release testing across business flows. I work closely with developers and product managers on test strategy, refinement, defect verification, and QA documentation, and recently strengthened my Java automation skills through intensive training covering Selenium WebDriver, TestNG, REST APIs, GitHub Actions, and Appium.
