About Me

With over 10 years of IT experience, I transitioned from web design and coding to QA automation engineering. I have developed deep expertise in manual and automated testing using tools such as Core Java, Selenium, Appium, and Cucumber.

I have a strong background in ensuring high-quality results in projects through API testing, backend testing, and working within Agile/Scrum methodologies and effective teamwork.

With ISTQB Foundation Level certification and strong analytical skills, I excel at problem-solving and effective teamwork. I have more than 2 years of specialized experience in QA / Software Test Engineering.
