What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an Agile QA role where I can own release validation, deepen API/webhook testing, partnering closely to reduce defects, improve regression speed, and measure quality with clear metrics.

I’m a results-driven QA Analyst with 4+ years of experience delivering measurable quality improvements, including a 20% reduction in production defects and 40% faster regression cycles. I specialize in manual testing across functional, regression, integration, and end-to-end flows, with a strong focus on root cause analysis and release validation.

Across retail and SaaS platforms, I validate APIs and webhook workflows end-to-end—covering edge cases, negative paths, and parallel execution—while streamlining test data setup to accelerate delivery. I’ve also driven customer outcomes, improving CSAT from 78 to 87 (+12%) through targeted testing of critical user journeys and faster defect closure.

I thrive in Agile/Scrum teams, partnering with Development, Support, and Product to align quality gates and acceptance criteria. With a Selenium automation certification plus hands-on expertise in JIRA, SQL, and Postman, I bring disciplined test planning, RTM traceability, and quality metrics to every release cycle.
