What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging QA role where I can leverage my expertise in manual and automated testing to contribute to a company's success in an Agile environment.

I am a dedicated QA Engineer with a strong background in managing multiple projects, particularly at Pakistan Revenue Automation (Pvt) Ltd. My expertise includes root cause analysis and user acceptance testing, with a focus on both manual and automated performance testing for web, mobile, and API applications. I am proficient in using tools such as Bamboo, TestLink, MS Azure, Jira, and JMeter to design and execute test plans, identify issues, and ensure software quality.

In my current role, I have successfully managed concurrent projects, ranging from minor enhancements to large-scale feature implementations, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to quality standards. Additionally, I have mentored junior team members, enhancing team efficiency and promoting knowledge sharing. My experience includes testing mobile applications like TaxAsaan and DGI&P, where I contributed to testing payment modules and POS integration on both web and mobile platforms.

Earlier in my career, I worked as an SQA Engineer at High-Rank Technologies (Learnship Germany) and Niku Solutions (Pvt) Ltd, performing functional testing across multiple platforms, collaborating with developers to resolve technical issues, and conducting regression tests after product releases. I also have experience as a Junior Asp.Net Developer, HTML Designer, and Web SEO specialist, where I optimized SQL queries, improved web applications, and created SEO-optimized content.
