Results-driven Software Test Engineer & QA Automation Specialist.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Software Test Engineer and QA Automation Specialist with a strong focus on enhancing software quality through both automated and manual testing. My expertise lies in developing and executing comprehensive test strategies that minimize defects and ensure robust application performance. At Groups360, I successfully reduced manual testing time by 40% by developing and maintaining automated test suites using Playwright. My collaborative approach with developers and product managers has consistently led to the identification of critical bugs before production releases, significantly improving software stability.
Previously, at Deloitte, I conducted ambiguity analysis on business requirements, achieving a remarkable 98% accuracy rate. My role involved leading end-to-end API testing and database validation, which ensured seamless backend integrations. I take pride in my ability to establish scalable test frameworks that can handle increased user transactions, which was pivotal in kickstarting high-volume testing projects. My commitment to delivering high-quality applications is matched by my passion for mentoring others, as demonstrated during my time as a tutor in Full-Stack Development, where I helped students boost their project success rates by 25%.
