In my current role, I have been deeply involved in advancing our mobile testing efforts by integrating AI to enhance accessibility for users with special needs and those who speak non-English languages. My work with Appium has ensured thorough testing across various settings and versions, contributing to top-notch performance.I played a key role in integrating Jenkins into our automation pipeline, which accelerated our feedback loops and improved software quality. My expertise extends to designing and maintaining hybrid automation frameworks with Selenium WebDriver, Java, and Cucumber, incorporating POM, BDD, and DDT concepts.One of my major contributions was leading the improvement of BDD execution through Cucumber, which enhanced collaboration between QA and development teams and led to more detailed test cases. My back-end testing experience with SQL and JDBC on Oracle databases has ensured data integrity and system analysis. I also excelled in API testing with Postman and Rest Assured, validating responses and endpoints effectively.I managed source code and team collaboration using Git and GitHub, acted as a liaison between QA and development to accelerate bug resolution, and leveraged JIRA for efficient issue tracking. A significant achievement includes proposing and guiding the transition to Azure DevOps and Microsoft Azure for our AI project, which helped us stay aligned with market trends and improve our cloud development workflow. Additionally, I improved efficiency by 13.8% through advanced automation techniques and optimized Postman environments.

At Slack, I was instrumental in advancing our testing capabilities by developing a Selenium WebDriver framework using Java and TestNG, which optimized test management and performance. I implemented a Page Object Model (POM)-based framework to enhance test reusability and maintenance. My expertise in creating frameworks for smoke and regression testing with TestNG, Maven, and Apache POI ensured thorough coverage and reliable results.I applied Selenium locators, including XPath, id, and CSS selectors, to effectively test web applications. My role also involved active participation in Agile methodologies, including Daily Scrum, Sprint Grooming, Planning, and Reviews, working closely with developers and business analysts to align on project goals.I conducted rigorous data validation and integrity testing using SQL queries and was responsible for creating Test Plans and Cases, tracking metrics with JIRA, and managing defects with a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM). I developed a comprehensive cross-browser testing approach with Selenium WebDriver, improving compatibility by 25% and ensuring a consistent user experience across various browsers and platforms.Among my notable achievements, I collaborated with my team to enhance cross-browser compatibility and refine backend SQL query testing, which guaranteed a uniform user experience for over 12 million users.

At Blizzard Entertainment, I demonstrated rapid career progression, starting as an intern and quickly advancing to a Manual Tester role due to my exceptional performance and adaptability. Recognized by both my team and supervisor, I efficiently took on essential responsibilities and made significant contributions to project success.I actively participated in Agile activities, including Daily Scrum, Sprint Planning, and Retrospective meetings, showcasing a deep understanding of Agile principles and effectively aligning with business needs. I developed a comprehensive manual test strategy, covering both positive and negative test cases, and produced detailed summary reports to effectively communicate findings to stakeholders.My role involved extensive data accuracy and integrity testing using SQL queries, ensuring the reliability of critical systems. I authored Test Plans, Test Cases, and system requirements documents, while tracking quality assurance metrics in JIRA to streamline project management.I managed defects seamlessly through manual testing, issue reporting, and maintaining a Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) for thorough test coverage. I executed manual tests across various application levels and conducted compatibility testing for different operating systems. Additionally, I collaborated with UI/UX teams to ensure the user experience was aligned with project goals.Leveraging my technical skills in Java, JavaScript, and Oracle, I enhanced testing processes and developed SQL queries for robust back-end testing.
