Available to hire
Hi, I’m Gimhani Kavishika. I’m a detail-oriented Software QA Engineer with 3+ years of experience in automation testing, API validation, and end-to-end quality assurance across web, mobile, and enterprise systems. I specialize in Playwright automation, REST API validation, and backend data checks, and I enjoy translating business requirements into robust testing strategies that catch defects early and ensure smooth releases.
In collaborative Agile environments, I bridge the gap between developers and product owners, design scalable automation frameworks, and continuously optimise test coverage to improve release quality and reduce production defects. I’m comfortable working across UI, API, and database layers, and I thrive on delivering reliable software with faster feedback loops.
