Technical Skills

A combination of technical expertise, quality engineering practices, leadership, and continuous learning developed through over five years in Software Quality Assurance.

Overview

Over the past 5+ years, I've developed expertise across the full spectrum of Quality Engineering, from manual testing and automation to API validation, SQL verification, performance engineering, security testing, reporting systems, and QA leadership.

Rather than viewing testing as a final phase of development, I focus on building quality into the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) through structured processes, scalable automation, measurable engineering metrics, and continuous improvement.
