Sr. QA Engineer | 7.0+ Years Experience | Fintech

About

I've spent the last 7+ years making sure software does what it's supposed to do before customers find out the hard way. As a Senior QA Engineer across FinTech, E-Payments, E-Commerce, Entertainment, and Finance, I lead QA efforts from the ground up: shaping test strategy, building test plans, and partnering closely with developers and product teams rather than testing at the end of the line. My work spans functional, regression, system integration, UAT, and exploratory testing across native, hybrid, and web applications on iOS, Android, and the browser. I validate APIs with Postman and Swagger, intercept network traffic with Charles Proxy, dig into the database with SQL and DBeaver, and manage the full test lifecycle in JIRA and TestRail with growing hands-on automation experience in Java-Selenium. A few numbers I'm proud of: test coverage from 80% to 98%, a 35% drop in post-release defects, and 20% faster defect resolution all while keeping releases on time. If you're hiring for QA leadership or just want to talk shop, I'd love to connect.
