## About

```text
At Careerist, I provided technical mentoring and one-on-one support across Manual QA, Automation QA, and AI Automation bootcamps. I guided students through Python and Selenium scripts, test cases, and QA concepts.

I supported students building AI-powered agents and workflows with Make.com and n8n, and assisted with GitHub submissions, Jira tasks, BrowserStack test execution, and Allure reports.

At Digital Munchers, I performed manual testing of web applications and created and executed test cases. Earlier, at DataFront Solutions Inc., I developed a membership rewards web application, implementing administrative features for transactions, reports, users, and inventory.
