What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities.

I am a highly experienced software quality engineer with a solid background in the software development lifecycle. My hands-on skills encompass functional, regression, browser compatibility, and mobile testing, among others. I excel in developing test plans, documents, scenarios, and cases, ensuring high-quality products are delivered under tight schedules. My proficiency with version control and project tracking software, coupled with my experience as a Scrum Master, allows me to effectively collaborate with development teams.

Throughout my career, I have worked with notable organizations such as Deloitte and Trinet USA, where I led testing initiatives for various applications. My role as a Senior Quality Engineer involved mentoring new team members, conducting interviews, and creating automation test scripts using Selenium. I have a proven track record of performing end-to-end testing, UAT, and accessibility testing, and I am adept at using tools like Jira, ALM, and Jenkins to streamline processes and enhance team productivity.

With a Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology, I am committed to continuous learning and improvement in my field. I thrive in Agile environments and am passionate about ensuring that software meets the highest standards of quality and accessibility.
