Zachary Ruf

I’m a results-driven QA/Test Engineer with over 7 years of experience ensuring the delivery of high-quality software applications. I focus on building reliable testing practices that help teams ship with confidence.

I develop comprehensive test plans and execute both manual and automated testing to verify that functionality aligns with specifications. I also integrate UI automation frameworks using Selenium, Cucumber, and Python to improve testing efficiency and accuracy.

I’m skilled at identifying critical defects, documenting them clearly, and driving them to closure to reduce production bugs. In Agile and Scrum environments, I collaborate with Agile development teams and cross-functional stakeholders, using JIRA and Confluence to maintain QA documentation, test summaries, and compliance-ready artifacts.

I drive continuous improvement through functional, regression, integration, performance, and usability testing—partnering with developers to improve application stability, reliability, and user experience. I also work to strengthen quality by supporting ongoing vulnerability-focused collaboration and by integrating automated tests into continuous integration pipelines.
