What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA/Test Automation role where I can own API and backend testing, grow Selenium/Playwright automation frameworks, and partner with cross-functional teams to improve release quality and reliability.

I’m a results-driven Software QA Engineer with 6+ years of experience delivering both manual and automated testing across enterprise platforms in finance, supply chain, and e-commerce. I focus on raising test quality and making releases smoother through automation, strong QA practices, and clear collaboration.

At Owens Asia, I built automated backend test scripts with Playwright to streamline testing and reduce manual effort, and I validate APIs with Postman to ensure reliable endpoint functionality. I also developed an in-house SEO analysis automation tool for website auditing and technical SEO validation, and I supported production confidence through post-production testing, performance/smoke/regression runs, and ticket-based validation.

Previously at Oracle NetSuite and Infor, I designed detailed test cases, developed Selenium-based automated coverage to reduce regression cycles, and maintained high standards through peer code reviews. I also served as an acting team lead, mentored a small automation team, partnered with offshore teams to troubleshoot CI/test execution in Jenkins pipelines, and drove QA sprint ceremonies as a Scrum Master.
