As a QA Engineer, I contribute to the quality and reliability of software products through both manual and automated testing. My responsibilities include understanding requirements, designing test scenarios, performing functional and exploratory testing, identifying risks, and validating features from both system and user perspectives. I build and maintain Playwright-based UI and API automation, focusing on reusable, scalable, and maintainable test frameworks. I collaborate closely with developers and product teams to identify issues early, validate end-to-end workflows, and ensure reliable releases. I focus not only on finding defects but also on understanding how features work within the overall system and helping deliver a stable, user-focused product.

About

I'm a QA Automation Engineer focused on building quality into products-not just finding bugs. I think beyond test cases by understanding the product, system behavior, APIs, user journeys, and potential risks that can impact customer experience. My expertise is in Playwright-based UI and API automation, building scalable frameworks with reusable fixtures, API clients, dynamic test data, and maintainable test architecture. I enjoy collaborating with developers and product teams to identify risks early and help deliver reliable, high-quality software. My goal is to grow as an SDET who combines quality engineering with software engineering to build better products.
