What I'm looking for

I'm looking to deliver scalable test automation and end-to-end quality assurance in Agile teams, particularly across banking, fintech, API, integration, compliance, and reliable CI/CD-driven software delivery.

I've delivered end-to-end quality assurance for Vision Bank’s banking applications and integrations, including Oracle CX and Fraud Detector systems. I build and maintain automation frameworks, automate APIs with REST Assured, Java, Cucumber, and JUnit, and investigate defects through application behaviour, logs, API responses, and data.

At Nedbank’s AVO app through Inspired Testing, I automated front-end testing with Selenium WebDriver and Java, validated APIs with Karate and Postman, and used SQL, Kibana, and Datadog to support production incident investigation and root-cause analysis. I also developed JMeter scripts, managed defects in Jira, and produced QA reporting for release readiness.

Across consulting, web development, software QA, database administration, and IT support roles, I've tested UI, mobile, API, integration, performance, load, and stress scenarios. I bring practical banking, AML, fraud detection, customer screening, transaction monitoring, Agile delivery, and CI/CD experience to improving release quality and reliability.
