What I'm looking for
I am a Test Lead with over eight years of hands-on experience in software quality assurance, having driven testing efforts across web and mobile applications. I have held progressive QA roles and led test activities including planning, execution, and defect management.
I specialize in automation framework design and execution using Selenium (IDE/RC/WebDriver), TestNG, Appium, and API tools such as Postman and SOAPUI, and I have strong SQL and DB testing experience across Oracle and DB2. I have developed POM and hybrid frameworks, written resilient XPaths for cross-browser compatibility, and implemented automated test cases in both Java and C# environments.
