With hands-on expertise in tools and technologies such as Cypress, Selenium WebDriver, Postman, Jenkins, and GitHub Actions, I specialize in designing robust test automation frameworks and executing high-impact UI and API test strategies. My collaborative mindset has enabled me to contribute effectively within Agile teams, streamline testing workflows, and improve overall release cycles. I’m passionate about continuous learning and committed to using technology to support data-driven decisions and improve user experiences. I’m currently focused on building scalable test solutions and further deepening my skills in cloud-based QA ecosystems.
