What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior QA role where I can lead automation and performance testing, mentor teams, work in Agile environments, and drive quality improvements within a collaborative, growth-focused organization.

I am a results-oriented Senior Test Engineer with over seven years of experience delivering high-quality software through automation and manual testing. I collaborate closely with product, development, and client teams to align testing with business goals and requirements.

I build and maintain automation frameworks using Java, Selenium, RestAssured and TestNG, and I have established performance testing efforts using JMeter and NeoLoad to ensure scalable system performance. My work has reduced regression execution time by 40% and introduced standards for test planning and documentation.

I have led QA teams in Agile environments, mentored junior testers, facilitated UAT sessions, and improved cross-team communication. I contributed to ISO-quality achievements and drove transitions to tools like Tosca and NeoLoad to modernize testing capabilities.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Computing and certifications including ISTQB CTFL and Tricentis Tosca/NeoLoad; I am committed to continuous improvement and helping organizations deliver reliable, performant software.
