Hi, I'm Khalil Ahmed, a QA and test automation professional with 9 years of experience delivering robust, scalable software across web, desktop, and API platforms. I specialize in designing and executing end-to-end test strategies, building maintainable automation with Playwright and Postman, and collaborating with product, development, and operations teams to ensure quality from ideation to release. I enjoy turning complex requirements into clear test plans with maximum coverage and doing it in a reliable, repeatable way. I also have experience testing AI and large language models for behavior, stability, and fairness, and I’ve led accessibility improvements and security-focused testing. I mentor juniors across three time zones and advocate for early QA involvement in the SDLC to improve product outcomes. Outside of testing, I enjoy learning about how software is used and how to create robust test cases.
