Hi, I’m Kariem Elimy, a QA professional with 10+ years of experience shaping quality across SaaS platforms in both large enterprises and high-growth startups. I’ve maintained quality from early design through CI/CD execution and production release, focusing on test strategies, API testing, and E2E automation using C#, Playwright, and BDD practices. I’ve helped teams improve release confidence by preventing critical regressions and expanding meaningful test coverage, while collaborating with product and engineering to push shift-left testing and influence acceptance criteria early in the development lifecycle. I’m passionate about building reliable software and enabling faster, safer releases by prioritizing high-value test flows and fostering a quality-driven culture across cross-functional teams.
