What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own end-to-end QA and automation for production-critical products, partnering with stakeholders on timelines and defects, and delivering reliable releases through strong test strategy, signoffs, and reporting.

I’m a detail-oriented Software Quality Analyst with over eight years of experience across web, mobile, and API testing, with strong knowledge in automation scripting and multiple types of software testing. I’ve worked with Telecommunication, Banking, and IT-Industry ERP Systems, consistently focusing on system quality and release readiness.

One of my standout contributions was leading an application migration and a legacy QA team that delivered the company’s very first massive migration—saving $16-18M in additional licensing cost. I’ve also served as a Project SME, acting as a subject matter expert for an in-house automation tool and mentoring an entire product team in adopting it.

In my current role, I deploy to support and empower Test Analysts by assisting their test processes and automation efforts. I perform manual testing of desktop applications, communicate testing status and defects with US product teams, and develop/maintain automation test scripts in Selenium using C#, while clearly documenting results through Azure DevOps.

Previously, I owned QA for Core Financial Applications and provided QA signoffs to higher environments, including production. I’ve executed API testing for payments using Postman, built and maintained automation using JMeter and Git, and ran smoke/sanity/regression testing in Jenkins pipelines; earlier, I developed automation scripts using TaaS and Selenium Robot Framework and helped maintain a 90% automation stability rate each release.
