Summary

As a Quality Assurance Tester with 6+ years of experience ensuring software products meet the highest standards of functionality and reliability. Specializing in manual testing, I excel in identifying defects, validating system behaviors, and optimizing overall performance. My expertise spans end-to-end testing, regression testing, UI/UX validation, and defect tracking across digital and financial industries.

With a keen eye for detail and a problem-solving mindset, I collaborate closely with developers, project managers, and stakeholders to streamline testing processes, enhance workflows, and maintain high-quality standards. Experienced in Natural Language Processing Testing (conversational/virtual assistant) , API testing, Mobile testing (Android & iOS), and Progressive Web Applications (PWA) testing, I thrive in fast-paced environments where precision and efficiency matter.
