Summary

Bringing over 15 years of experience in software testing, I specialize in ensuring the delivery of high-quality, reliable software across a variety of domains and global teams. My expertise spans a full spectrum of testing methodologies, including Smoke, Functional, Integration, Regression, UAT, Cross-Browser, Exploratory, Post-Production, and API Testing. I am skilled at crafting and executing effective test plans and test cases, integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines, and providing actionable test reports to support development and business decisions. My expertise in testing web applications built on AWS, Node.js, React, .Net, and J2EE, paired with proficiency in Selenium WebDriver and Playwright, ensures thorough quality assurance. My ability to adapt across both Agile and Waterfall environments, combined with strong collaboration and communication skills, enables me to contribute effectively to successful project outcomes.
