I’m a results-driven QA Engineer with 4 years of experience testing large-scale social media platforms similar to Meta/Facebook. I focus on functional, API, integration, and privacy/permission-based testing across web and mobile to help teams ship with confidence.

I’ve delivered measurable quality outcomes, including a Bravo Award from Tech Mahindra for identifying a critical privacy data exposure bug during Account Deletion testing. I’ve also achieved zero critical bug escapes to production across 3 consecutive releases and designed 500+ test cases maintaining 95%+ coverage.

In Agile/Scrum environments, I’m trusted for end-to-end coverage of complex user workflows—News Feed, Messaging, Account Management, and App Permissions—along with requirements traceability. I prepare RTM, Test Plans, and Test Strategy documents, and I contribute in Sprint Planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives.

I’m currently upskilling in Selenium WebDriver, SQL, Java, and Postman (API Automation) to strengthen automation and backend testing. My work also includes GDPR compliance validation and permission integrity checks (e.g., fixing issues like “microphone not releasing after call end”).
