What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration in quality assurance.

I am a dedicated Software Quality Assurance Engineer with extensive experience in both manual and automated testing. Currently, I serve as a Senior Test Engineer at Your Digital Media, where I lead testing projects on the Shopify e-commerce platform. My journey in QA has equipped me with a robust skill set, including API automation and performance testing, which I have honed through various roles in reputable organizations.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and maintained automation suites using frameworks like Cypress and Protractor. My role at Unibench involved developing an API automation suite and contributing to manual testing for payment gateway applications on AWS. I take pride in mentoring young professionals and collaborating with teams to enhance QA processes, ensuring that products meet the highest quality standards.

With a Master's degree in Business Administration and a Bachelor's in Information Technology, I blend technical expertise with strategic insight. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive quality assurance initiatives and contribute to innovative solutions in the tech industry.
