United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
At Valuelabs, I owned end-to-end quality for the Kinesis Money crypto-backed trading platform, testing onboarding, trading workflows and transaction processing. I validated REST APIs with Postman and checked backend data integrity with SQL, helping reduce production data inconsistencies by 30%.
I built a Playwright regression framework that ran in Jenkins and Azure DevOps pipelines, reducing manual regression effort by 40%. I also tested failures, reversals and status changes to check that front-end state and backend records stayed consistent.
At Creative IT, I led QA for the DCCMS regulated healthcare platform, owning test strategy, test case design and the defect lifecycle across releases. I used SQL to verify data mapping and integrity in a compliance-sensitive environment.
Earlier, I tested enterprise and B2B SaaS platforms at EPAM Systems, Netcore Solutions and Arrk Solutions. I developed reusable Selenium and Katalon Studio frameworks at Arrk Solutions, reducing manual testing effort by 35% across two concurrent projects.
