What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic company that values quality assurance and offers opportunities for professional growth and skill enhancement.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented Software Test Engineer with over 5.2 years of hands-on experience in both manual and automation testing of web and mobile applications. My journey in software testing has equipped me with a robust skill set, allowing me to analyze requirements meticulously and create comprehensive test cases that ensure software quality and efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have successfully automated end-to-end test cases using Selenium-Java with TestNG, significantly reducing test cycle times. My experience includes developing mobile test scripts using Appium for both Android and iOS platforms, which has led to a notable reduction in bugs. I am currently preparing for ISTQB certification and actively upskilling in modern QA practices to stay aligned with industry trends.
