I am a QA Automation Engineer with 8+ years of experience in Information Technology, specializing in testing web applications using Java, Selenium WebDriver, and Cucumber. I have hands-on experience building robust automation frameworks (Page Object Model), data validation with SQL (Oracle), and API testing with Postman. I thrive in collaborative, Agile environments and enjoy driving quality through BDD/TDD, CI/CD with Jenkins, and clear defect management with JIRA. I work closely with business analysts and developers to translate requirements into effective test strategies and scalable test scripts. I am comfortable performing UI, functional, and regression testing across multiple browsers, and I continuously seek opportunities to optimize testing approaches to speed up reliable software releases.
