I am a dedicated Quality Assurance Engineer with over 6 years of experience testing web and mobile applications in Agile environments. I specialize in functional, regression, API, and database testing, and I am proficient with Postman, JIRA, TestRail, and SQL. I am known for strong defect analysis and clear communication, and I recently earned certification in AI-driven Test Automation (TestRigor) to further enhance automation capabilities. I collaborate closely with designers and developers to ensure quality from planning through release. I advocate for accessible, pixel-perfect UI, leverage tools like Figma for UI validation, and continuously evolve test suites to support product releases and user behavior. I am actively expanding my automation skillset and enjoy mentoring new QA teammates to boost productivity and quality across projects.
