What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in automation testing and offers collaborative team environments.

I am an ISTQB Foundation Level Certified Software Tester with 1 year and 8 months of hands-on experience in manual testing. My expertise encompasses functional, integration, usability, regression, user acceptance (UAT), sanity, and smoke testing. I excel in test case design, execution, defect tracking, and requirements analysis throughout the full SDLC within Agile environments. My analytical thinking and attention to detail have allowed me to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to ensure software quality.

Currently, I am upskilling in automation testing, gaining practical experience with tools like Selenium IDE, GitHub, and writing test scripts in IntelliJ with Maven. I am highly motivated and adaptable, eager to expand my skills into automation frameworks and Salesforce QA testing. My goal is to contribute to a dynamic team where I can leverage my skills and continue to grow professionally.
