What I'm looking for
I am a Senior QA Engineer with over 10 years of experience testing retail, commercial, banking, and mobile applications across Android, iOS, web and backend services. I have deep experience in SDLC/STLC, Agile/SCRUM and Waterfall methodologies and have built test strategies, UAT plans, and system test reports that improved release quality and reduced production issues.
I have led multiple QA teams and implemented Agile testing practices for projects using microservices, monolithic APIs, high-load cloud solutions and native mobile apps, and I have hands-on expertise in automation using Selenium, Appium, REST Assured, Postman, JMeter, Ruby Cucumber and related toolchains. I also perform backend testing with SQL/MySQL/MongoDB and use security and performance tools like Mozilla Observatory, Snyk, GTMetrix and Lighthouse.
I hold a Master’s in Project Management and multiple ICAgile and ISTQB certifications, and I bring a pragmatic, documentation-driven approach to QA—building test processes, observability and CI-friendly automation that accelerate delivery while keeping risk low.
