What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging QA role where I can lead quality initiatives, build automation frameworks, mentor teams, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver top-tier software.

I am a Software Development Engineer in Test with five years of experience testing web, mobile, and API-driven applications across healthcare, finance, and e-commerce. I have led bug-hunting initiatives, implemented Selenium and Java-based automation frameworks, and improved test accuracy and delivery through CI/CD on Jenkins and AWS.

I craft and maintain BDD and DDT test suites using Cucumber, Gherkin, and Maven, perform database testing with Oracle/SQL, and use Postman and REST Assured for API validation. I mentor new team members and drive cross-departmental collaboration to elevate QA practices and software quality.
