What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow as a QA professional, take on broader responsibilities, and contribute to innovative projects.

I am an ISTQB Certified (CTFL) QA Engineer with nearly 3 years of hands-on experience in both manual and automation testing. My journey began as an intern at Ascentic Pvt Ltd, where I quickly advanced through the ranks due to my dedication and adaptability. I have developed robust test strategies and created detailed test cases that have significantly contributed to the quality of mobile and web applications.

In my current role as a Quality Assurance Engineer, I take end-to-end ownership of QA processes for a live client-facing B2B platform. I collaborate closely with developers and project managers to ensure system stability and release readiness. My proactive approach led to the initiation of a Playwright automation proof of concept, showcasing my commitment to scalable test automation and continuous improvement in quality assurance practices.
