About me

Careful, curious, and automation-minded. I care about whether software works reliably for the people using it.

I'm an ISTQB-certified QA engineer who has worked across the full software testing lifecycle (STLC): requirements analysis, test planning, execution, defect management, regression, UAT, and release readiness.

My toolkit spans Selenium, Playwright, API testing, SQL, and BDD frameworks. I collaborate closely with developers, analysts, and product owners to expand test coverage, surface risks early, and deliver rock-solid releases.
