What I'm looking for

I seek QA roles focused on automation for OTT/media products, with collaborative Agile teams, opportunities to build scalable test frameworks, and emphasis on real-device testing and accessibility.

I am a software engineer specializing in QA with 1.8 years of hands-on experience in manual and automation testing across Web, Mobile and STB platforms, with a strong focus on OTT media playback. I have built scalable automation frameworks using Python, Selenium and Pytest, achieved 80% automated test coverage, and reduced manual effort and debugging time through integrated reporting and robust test design.

I bring practical API testing experience using Postman and Python requests, familiarity with Appium and Robot Framework for mobile automation, and solid exposure to STLC/SDLC, Agile workflows, JIRA defect management, and CI-friendly reporting. I deliver maintainable, data-driven test solutions and prioritize accessibility and real-device validation to improve user experience and product reliability.
