I am a results-driven QA Analyst with 8+ years of experience in software testing (manual and automation) across web, mobile, and cloud-based applications. I excel at test planning, execution, and defect management using tools like Selenium, JIRA, Postman, HP ALM, and TestRail. I also perform accessibility testing (WCAG 2.0/2.1, ADA), data migration validation, API testing, and mobile testing across Android and iOS. I am comfortable with Agile and Waterfall methodologies and have hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and Azure DevOps. Beyond QA, I contribute as a Business Analyst by collaborating with stakeholders to gather, analyze, and clarify business requirements, creating requirement traceability matrices, and ensuring alignment between business needs and testing outcomes. I have designed and implemented automation frameworks from scratch using Java, Selenium WebDriver, Cucumber, Appium, Maven, and TestNG, including data-driven approaches and cross-browser testing. I have led cross-functional teams, mentored junior QA engineers, and driven accessibility and shift-left initiatives throughout the SDLC.
