My expertise lies in translating quality assurance efforts into measurable business outcomes, ensuring that products not only meet but exceed quality standards. I have a proven ability to adapt quickly to new technologies and tools, which has enabled me to deliver results within agile frameworks effectively.

Throughout my career, I have conducted end-to-end testing for various applications, collaborating closely with technical consultants to align testing efforts with compliance and regulatory needs. My experience includes developing and enhancing automation scripts using Selenium and Python, which has significantly reduced testing time and increased efficiency. I take pride in my ability to identify defects and work collaboratively with developers to enhance product quality.

In addition to my technical skills, I have played a pivotal mentorship role, guiding fellow team members and fostering a collaborative atmosphere. I am passionate about enhancing software quality and user experience through comprehensive testing strategies and effective communication with stakeholders.
