What I'm looking for

I seek a QA role emphasizing automation, CI/CD integration, shift-left practices, and collaborative product-focused teams that value quality and continuous improvement.

I am a Senior QA Engineer with ~5 years of experience delivering end-to-end testing across fintech, HR, e-commerce, retail, and healthcare platforms. I specialize in building test automation, implementing shift-left strategies, and improving CI/CD and performance testing to reduce defect turnaround and build times.

I have authored and maintained large smoke and regression suites, executed API, mobile, and DB testing, and collaborated with product and development teams to improve UX and reliability—reducing post-release defects and support tickets while increasing system usability and release quality.
