I am a Quality Engineer with 3.5 years of experience delivering high-quality QA across a range of clients and projects. I specialize in manual test case creation and execution, and I enjoy developing BDD automated test suites using C# with Selenium and NUnit. I’ve led daily stand-ups, supported team members, and created onboarding ADO Wiki content to streamline knowledge sharing. I’m comfortable across UI and system testing, and I’ve built automation that integrates into CI/CD pipelines and regression suites.
