At Skedda Inc., I designed and executed automated and manual tests for web applications using Selenium and Playwright. I also tested REST APIs with Postman and investigated CI/CD build failures to provide reliable release feedback.

I reduced manual regression effort by 50% through automation improvements and risk-based test prioritization. Detailed defect analysis and collaboration with developers improved defect triage efficiency by 30%.

At Cortado Holding AG, I tested cloud-based web and mobile applications with Selenium and Appium across Android, iOS, and web platforms. I increased test coverage by 40% and reduced post-release defects by 25% through improved test planning and stronger regression and exploratory testing.
