What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can own end-to-end testing in Agile teams—building reliable automation, validating APIs and data with SQL, and partnering with developers to ship high-quality releases on time.

I’m a Senior QA Engineer with 6 years 6 months of software quality testing experience, blending automation and manual testing to validate complex applications across web, Windows, macOS, and mobile platforms. I build test plans, test cases, test scenarios, and traceability matrices from business requirements and user stories, then execute comprehensive testing including functional, integration, smoke, regression, UAT, and globalization testing.

I’ve hands-on experience with Selenium (IDE/WebDriver), Squish, and BDD/Gherkin, alongside API testing using Postman and SoapUI/RestAPI. I also write and execute SQL queries for backend validation and test data setup, improve QA processes through better defect reporting, and collaborate closely in Agile/Scrum with developers and BAs using Jira for sprint planning, requirement analysis, and defect life cycle management.
