Available to hire
Hi, I’m Liya Chakma. I’ve spent nearly two decades guiding testing efforts across enterprise systems, from WMS and SAP to WCS and TMS. I’m ISTQB-certified and have led end-to-end testing programs, built QA governance, and delivered high-quality outcomes for telecom, healthcare, financial services, and aviation projects. I excel at coordinating cross-functional teams and driving reliable software delivery in complex environments.
I’m currently expanding my automation capabilities with Playwright and JavaScript/TypeScript, and I’m passionate about mentoring teams to build scalable testing strategies, improve coverage, and provide clear, timely results to stakeholders.
