What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can drive test automation and quality practices in Agile teams, tackle complex domain workflows, and grow into leadership while working with collaborative, quality-focused engineering cultures.

I am an ISTQB-certified QA Engineer with 8+ years of experience across healthcare, banking, media, and education domains, focused on improving product quality through robust test strategies and automation. I build and maintain data-driven automation frameworks using Selenium WebDriver, Java, TestNG, and Maven, and perform comprehensive UI, API, mobile, and database testing to reduce defect leakage and ensure release readiness.

I collaborate closely with developers, analysts, and stakeholders in Agile teams, participate in sprint ceremonies, and use tools like Postman, JIRA, qTest, BrowserStack, and SQL for end-to-end validation. My achievements include leading clinical release validations, automating stable regression suites, and validating complex workflows such as Medicaid eligibility, Zelle payments, and streaming event flows.
