Experienced Quality Assurance professional specializing in manual and automation testing.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Quality Assurance professional with over three years of experience in manual and automation testing. My expertise lies in ensuring software reliability and performance, particularly within the Guidewire ecosystem.

My contributions have consistently resulted in improved software quality and reduced defect rates.
