What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my automation skills to enhance software quality and contribute to team success.

I am an ISTQB-certified QA Automation Engineer with over five years of experience in building robust test automation frameworks. My expertise lies in utilizing tools such as Selenium, RestAPI, and Java to ensure high-quality software delivery. I have a proven track record of automating over 300 test cases, significantly increasing regression test coverage and enhancing the overall QA output.

Throughout my career, I have successfully integrated automated test suites with CI/CD pipelines, reducing deployment delays and improving system responsiveness. I thrive in Agile environments, collaborating cross-functionally to streamline testing efforts and align on priorities. My commitment to continuous learning has led me to explore innovative solutions, such as Generative AI in QA, to optimize test execution and defect analysis.
