What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth in software quality assurance.

I am a Software Quality Assurance Engineer with a strong ability to solve complex challenges in web and mobile application testing. My expertise lies in both manual and automated testing, utilizing tools such as Cypress, Selenium with Appium, and JMeter. I have a proven track record of enhancing product quality through efficient test script writing in Python and JavaScript, and I am currently contributing to an AI/ML startup, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, reliable, and scalable products.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and executed automated and manual test cases, significantly improving system accuracy and stability. At QLU.ai, I optimized AI-driven workflows, which reduced errors and enhanced platform performance, leading to a smoother user experience. My collaborative work with developers and data scientists has resulted in better candidate recommendations and improved user satisfaction.

My previous roles have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of software quality assurance processes, including defect management and test automation. I am passionate about continuous improvement and am always looking for ways to enhance QA workflows to ensure seamless software releases.
