What I'm looking for

I’m looking for QA/SDET roles in fintech where I can own manual, automation, API, and performance testing end-to-end—build strong test documentation, improve defect detection, and grow with modern tooling while partnering closely in Agile teams.

I’m a results-driven QA Engineer and SDET with 3+ years of experience across manual, functional, automation, API, and performance testing for high-traffic fintech applications. I focus on quality outcomes—achieving 95%+ defect detection before production.

In my current role at Pixalytix, I designed end-to-end test plans for payment processing, wallet management, and merchant onboarding, while running performance testing with JMeter to pinpoint bottlenecks. I also built and maintained Selenium/TestNG automation frameworks integrated with Jenkins CI/CD, reducing bug leakage by 30% and delivering zero critical defects in production for 3 consecutive quarters.

I’m skilled in Agile/Scrum collaboration and strong test documentation, including test plans, traceability matrices, and quality metric dashboards in JIRA. I’m actively upskilling in Cypress, Playwright, and advanced Python automation to keep improving how teams validate reliability and compliance.
