What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative Agile team role where I can expand automation coverage, improve CI/CD test pipelines, and drive measurable quality and faster releases.

I am a QA Automation Engineer with 4+ years of experience in manual and automated testing of web applications and APIs, with hands-on experience in Selenium, Playwright, and Postman. I have designed and maintained hundreds of test cases, built regression suites, and collaborated closely with developers to reduce defects and accelerate release cycles.

My work has driven measurable quality improvements — increasing automated coverage from ~40% to over 75%, cutting regression execution time by 50%, and reducing post-release defects by 30–40%. I document test plans and metrics clearly and thrive in Agile teams focused on delivering reliable, production-ready software.
