Hi, I’m Akash A, a Software Test Engineer (QA) with eight years of experience driving manual and automated testing in Agile teams. I lead testing efforts, design comprehensive test plans, and integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines to reduce defects and accelerate delivery. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams, analyzing issues to prevent recurrence, and continuously improving testing processes with tools like Selenium, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and API testing. When I’m not testing, I stay curious about emerging QA trends and help teams ship high-quality software on time.
