What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level QA/Test role in an Agile team where I can expand automation coverage, drive API/UI test strategy, mentor peers, and deliver measurable quality improvements using modern CI/CD pipelines.

I am a detail-oriented Software Test Engineer with 4 years' experience in manual and automated testing for large-scale telecom systems. I specialize in Playwright UI automation, Rest Assured API testing, and end-to-end QA processes.

I work in Agile environments using tools such as JIRA, Jenkins, and TestRail to drive faster delivery and higher quality. I led defect management via JIRA, reducing resolution time by 25% and improving sprint outcomes.

I hold a Spring Boot Certification and contributed to hackathon projects building responsive web pages with JavaScript and Bootstrap. I routinely practice API validation using Postman, JSON, and XML to ensure backend compliance.

I was recognized with Special Initiative Award quarterly for consistent excellence and focus on optimizing test processes. I seek roles where I can expand automation coverage, mentor peers, and continue delivering measurable quality improvements.
