What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and detail-driven Quality Assurance Software Testing Engineer with a decade of experience championing product quality across banking and SaaS applications. My expertise lies in both manual and automated testing, frontend UI validation, backend data verification, and CI/CD integration. I excel at identifying critical issues before release, enhancing user experiences, and fostering collaboration across Agile teams.
In my current role as a QA Engineer at System Stack, I have successfully streamlined regression testing workflows, reducing pre-deployment QA cycle time by 32%. I leverage tools like Selenium and Postman to validate user workflows and API endpoints, ensuring system responsiveness and adherence to security practices. My commitment to quality has resulted in a 25% reduction in post-release defects and improved stakeholder decision-making through comprehensive QA dashboards.
Previously, as a QA Analyst at Truist, I performed testing across diverse financial applications, leading to a 30% decrease in production errors. My collaborative approach and strong analytical skills have enabled me to translate business requirements into detailed test plans, ensuring compliance and user-friendly features. I am passionate about driving QA process improvements and mentoring junior testers to enhance team efficiency.
