What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values quality and innovation, where I can contribute to impactful projects and continue to grow my skills in test automation.

I am a highly skilled Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with over 7 years of experience in both manual and automated testing within the IT industry. My expertise lies in E-Commerce and Real Estate Management platforms, where I have developed a strong understanding of Quality Assurance standards. I excel in analyzing test results, creating defects in Jira Xray, and managing issues through effective test tracking.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated proficiency in writing detailed UI, Database, and API test scripts, ensuring comprehensive coverage and robust performance. I have a solid background in Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber (BDD), and Hybrid Test Automation Frameworks, leveraging the Page Object Model. My hands-on experience with SQL queries, RESTful API testing, and utilizing Jenkins for CI/CD pipelines has allowed me to optimize efficiency in test automation and contribute to the successful delivery of high-quality software products.
