Throughout my career, I have designed and implemented mobile and POS automation testing frameworks, and I have successfully driven quality architecture design and QA processes in multiple projects. My commitment to quality is reflected in my ability to develop comprehensive QA roadmaps and execute effective testing strategies, ensuring that projects meet the highest standards of quality and performance.
