The experience most relevant to this role comes from my 7+ years working as a Software Test Engineer, where I’ve been responsible for designing, developing, and executing both manual and automated test solutions to ensure software quality and reliability. I have strong experience in automation using Selenium with Python, as well as in API, integration, and regression testing. I’ve also played a key role in Agile teams, managing the full testing lifecycle — from planning and estimation to execution, defect management, and reporting. This has helped me build strong analytical and problem-solving skills, along with the ability to deliver accurate, efficient, and timely test results that support smooth project delivery. My experience has given me a deep understanding of testing best practices, CI/CD integration, and cross-functional collaboration — all of which I believe are essential for contributing effectively in this role and ensuring consistent, high-quality outcomes.
