What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning in QA automation.

I am a Quality Assurance and Automation Engineer with over eight years of comprehensive experience in all phases of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC). My journey has taken me across diverse industries and Agile environments, where I have consistently delivered robust end-to-end automated testing solutions for both web and mobile applications. My focus has always been on improving test coverage, increasing test efficiency, and accelerating deployment cycles through the implementation of modern automation frameworks and CI/CD practices.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills with automation tools such as Playwright, Protractor, Selenium WebDriver, and Cypress, building scalable automation test suites using programming languages including Java, JavaScript, and TypeScript. I have also gained expertise in API testing with REST Assured and Postman, as well as performance testing using JMeter and LoadRunner. My hands-on experience with AWS services has enabled me to execute cloud-based QA activities seamlessly, while my strong troubleshooting skills have been enhanced through the use of tools like Splunk and the ELK Stack.
