Specializing in software testing and automation, including backend API validation, UI testing, and CI/CD pipeline integration. Passionate about shipping reliable software and ensuring seamless user experiences.
About Me
I'm a dedicated QA Engineer with over two years of experience in the tech industry, holding a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Engineering. My journey has taken me through fintech and edtech, where I've honed my skills in building robust automation suites with tools like Selenium, Rest Assured, and Appium. I'm a strong advocate for early bug detection and clean code practices. When I'm not ensuring software quality, I'm actively involved in the tech community, having served as a Cloud Lead for Google Developer Student Clubs and as a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador. I'm a quick learner, a collaborative teammate, and I'm always excited about the next challenge in creating reliable and user-friendly software.
