Hi, I’m Ogai Amarkhil. I’m an IT professional with 8+ years of experience spanning software testing, QA automation, project management, and lecturing. I work well in Agile teams and enjoy turning complex requirements into reliable, high-quality software. My strengths include manual and automated testing with Selenium, Cucumber, Java, and SQL, plus a knack for collaborating with cross-functional partners to deliver robust results. I’ve built testing frameworks from scratch, taught database concepts at Kabul University, and contributed to curriculum development. I recently relocated to Phoenix, AZ, and continue growing through professional development and freelance work, including Pashto and Dari interpretation for government, corporate, and nonprofit clients.
