Hi, I’m Jyothi Rani Padala, ISTQB-certified QA Engineer with 6+ years of hands-on experience in manual, automation, and API testing across web, mobile, and multi-device environments. I’ve delivered quality for global platforms (UK, US, Australia) using Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, and Postman, and I’ve continued working as a Freelance Tester after redundancy, conducting usability studies, user interviews, and WordPress site maintenance. I stay current with QA best practices, automation tooling, and industry trends to help products launch smoothly and reliably. I thrive in Agile/Scrum settings, enjoy deep testing, cross-functional collaboration with developers and product owners, and I’m seeking roles where deep testing expertise meets expanding automation capabilities as a QA Engineer or SDET.
