I’m Gul Najeeb Channa, a QA automation engineer with a passion for building reliable, scalable test solutions. Over 5+ years I’ve specialized in web test automation using Playwright (TypeScript) and Cypress, and I’ve integrated automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to improve release quality in Agile environments. I thrive on turning requirements into robust tests, identifying defects early, and collaborating with developers and product teams to deliver high-quality software. When I’m not writing tests, I enjoy sharing knowledge with teammates and contributing to the QA community.
