Automation QA Engineer

Summary

I'm a Software QA Engineer with 8+ years of experience delivering quality across SaaS, web, and mobile applications. My expertise is rooted in manual testing fundamentals, comprehensive test design, and cross-team collaboration, and I'm currently building my capabilities in test automation.
My journey began with QA positions at CoreBlast and DXC Technology, where I built strong skills in crafting thorough test cases, conducting API testing with Postman, and verifying applications across diverse platforms and devices. My time at OpenText brought expanded responsibilitiesultimately managing a 5-person QA team and coaching junior team members while overseeing intricate testing initiatives for enterprise software products.
A highlight of my career was serving as lead QA at OpenText during a high-pressure new product launch. I introduced a shift-left testing methodology that transformed our team's workflowintegrating quality validation early in the development process instead of relying on testing as a final checkpoint. This involved working closely with developers, maintaining transparent communication with stakeholders, and establishing processes for quick feedback cycles. The outcome? We met our deadline under significant time constraints with zero critical defects reaching production.
In my most recent position at Reelly AI, I immersed myself in test automation, acquiring Python and Selenium skills to develop automated testing frameworks. I boosted automation coverage by 35% and applied the Page Object Model design pattern, though I recognize there's considerable room for growth. I'm seeking roles that will allow me to further strengthen these automation capabilities while drawing on my solid background in manual testing, test strategy, and quality leadership. I offer dependability, meticulous attention to detail, and genuine passion for advancing as a QA professional in organizations that prioritize ongoing learning and development.
