About

Professional summary

I am a Software Quality Assurance Engineer with 11 years of experience leading quality initiatives across startup and enterprise environments. I specialize in delivering reliable software releases through strong quality strategy, test planning, execution, and defect management.

I have hands-on expertise in test automation, including Selenium-based frameworks, Java, TestNG, JUnit, Cucumber, Appium, Selendroid, and Mocha. I build and maintain regression, sanity, integration, smoke, functional, and end-to-end test coverage.

I am experienced in API validation, SQL data checks, CI/CD integration, release management, and user acceptance testing. I work closely with developers, business analysts, product teams, DevOps engineers, system administrators, and clients to ensure requirements are met.

I have supported projects in real estate, e-commerce, telecom, GPS tracking, healthcare, finance, HRIS, logistics, payment systems, CRM, and enterprise platforms. My work includes migration testing, production monitoring, infrastructure coordination, and deployment support.

I use AI-assisted workflows such as Claude and GitHub Copilot to accelerate test automation, generate test cases and user stories, improve grooming, refactor scripts, and streamline QA processes. I also mentor junior testers and promote quality practices through documentation, automation, and knowledge sharing.
