Senior Quality Assurance engineer
Summary
I'm a Software QA Engineer with over 8 years of experience ensuring quality across SaaS, web, and mobile platforms. My career has been built on a strong foundation of manual testing, test case design, and cross-functional collaboration, and I'm now actively expanding my skills into test automation.
I've progressed from foundational QA roles at CoreBlast and DXC Technology, where I developed expertise in creating comprehensive test cases, performing API testing with Postman, and validating applications across multiple platforms and devices. At OpenText, I took on increasing responsibilityeventually leading a 5-person QA team and mentoring junior engineers while managing complex testing efforts across enterprise software releases.
What I'm particularly proud of is my work as lead QA at OpenText when we launched a new product under intense pressure. I implemented a shift-left testing approach that fundamentally changed how our team operatedembedding quality checks earlier in the development cycle rather than treating testing as a final gate. This required close collaboration with developers, clear communication with stakeholders, and building processes that enabled rapid feedback. The result? We delivered on time despite tight deadlines with zero critical defects escaping into production.
This past year I was fortunate enough to do an internship at Reelly AI, I was able to dive into test automation, learning Python and Selenium to build automated test frameworks. I increased automation coverage by 35% and implemented the Page Object Model design pattern, but I know there's so much more to learn. I'm looking for opportunities where I can continue developing these automation skills while leveraging my strong foundation in manual testing, test strategy, and quality leadership. I bring reliability, attention to detail, and a genuine enthusiasm for growing as a QA professional in an environment that values continuous learning.
