About Me

Namaste

I'm a Quality Assurance Engineer with experience across the full software development lifecycle, from requirements analysis and test planning to automation, validation, and release. I focus on identifying ambiguities and risks early and collaborating with clients, developers, and stakeholders to deliver high-quality software.

My expertise includes test automation with Playwright and Cypress, API testing, AI testing, model validation, performance testing with JMeter and k6, and security testing. I also contribute to QA strategy and process improvement, establish testing practices and documentation from the ground up, and mentor junior QA engineers.

I'm particularly interested in Quality Engineering, Test Automation, AI Testing, and modern software testing practices, with a focus on improving quality, efficiency, and test coverage.
