Hi there, I'm Taha Karaman, a QA Engineer and Software Test Automation Specialist with 3+ years of QA experience and 8+ months of iOS automation expertise. I’ve achieved over 90% automation coverage across 2,500+ test scenarios and have 350+ hours of hands-on development practice, actively using AI-powered tools to accelerate delivery. I identify and fix defects, including 75+ high-priority/critical defects across Nike, NBA, and Bosch projects; I improved test execution time by 20-25% and converted 150-200 manual test scenarios to automated ones via BDD. I build production-ready web/mobile apps, apply advanced test techniques (BDD, XPath optimization, cross-device testing) and integrate APIs using Postman; I manage the defect lifecycle with JIRA and deliver weekly automation reports. I also pursue continuous learning in AI/ML trends and DevOps practices to stay ahead.
