Available to hire
I am a QA Engineer with 16+ years of experience testing complex web-based applications across government, enterprise, and commercial environments. I design comprehensive test plans, execute regression and integration tests, and validate data integrity using SQL. I thrive in fast-paced Agile environments and collaborate with developers and product managers to deliver high-quality software.
I also build and maintain automation frameworks (Playwright, Selenium, Cypress) and contribute to test strategy, metrics, and risk governance. I enjoy cross-browser testing, accessibility WCAG checks, and leading QA efforts across multiple product streams.
