What I'm looking for
I am a quality-focused Software QA Engineer with 6+ years of hands-on experience across fintech, retail, and e-commerce domains, delivering test automation, API validation, and performance testing for top-tier clients.
I design and maintain reusable automation frameworks (Selenium, Appium, Karate, Cucumber) integrated with CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS), which have reduced regression effort and production incidents significantly.
I lead cross-functional QA activities including sprint leadership, on-call production support, mentoring junior engineers, and collaborating with DevOps and ML teams to ensure high-impact, reliable releases in Agile environments.
