What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, teamwork, and innovative testing practices.

I am a dedicated Quality Assurance Analyst with over 6 years of extensive experience in software quality assurance and testing. My expertise spans all phases of the Agile and Software Development Life Cycle, where I have successfully utilized automated tools like Selenium and Tosca to enhance testing efficiency. I pride myself on my ability to create detailed test plans, scenarios, and cases, ensuring comprehensive coverage and accuracy in all testing phases, including functional, regression, and user acceptance testing.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong commitment to ethical responsibility and continuous learning. I have effectively collaborated with both technical and non-technical teams, presenting test documents and facilitating communication to resolve issues swiftly. My problem-solving skills have enabled me to investigate and identify solutions by engaging with various stakeholders. I am a team player who thrives in dynamic environments, adept at managing multiple projects with competing priorities while maintaining high-quality standards.
