Available to hire
Hi, I’m Zara Khudinyan. I am a QA engineer with over 8 years of experience in manual and automated QA for web and mobile platforms. I enjoy designing thorough test plans, building robust automation, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software.
I’m passionate about mentoring teammates, optimizing QA processes, and staying current with the latest tools like Selenium, NUnit, SpecFlow, and Page Object Model. I also have hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) and AWS components (S3, Lambda) to enable efficient, reliable test automation.
