QA Engineer | Manual Testing | Learning Automation (Selenium + Java) | Bengaluru

About

Manual QA professional with strong foundation in Software Testing and hands-on experience in writing test cases, bug reporting, and functional testing. I have completed Manual Testing training and am currently learning Core Java + Selenium to grow into Automation. My previous experience as a UX Designer helps me think from the end-user’s perspective while testing applications — catching both functional and usability issues early. What I bring: • Strong understanding of SDLC, STLC, Test Case Design, Bug Life Cycle • Experience in Functional, Regression, Smoke, and Usability Testing • Ability to write clear test cases and detailed bug reports • Currently upskilling in Core Java and Selenium WebDriver • Background in UI/UX Design (user research, wireframing, usability) Looking for Manual QA / Software Tester / Junior QA Engineer roles in Bengaluru (or remote/hybrid). Open to full-time opportunities. Feel free to connect or message me.
