Passionate and driven ISTQB certified Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) with almost one year of experience in Manual and Automated Testing, Defect Tracking, and Resolution. Proficient in Java and Selenium, with a strong understanding of QA processes and principles, as well as expertise in UX research and strong Data analysis and research methods skills based on PhD. Seeking a challenging and dynamic work environment where I can use my skills and experience to drive successful testing and contribute to the success of a team

As a junior/mid-level SDET, I have gained solid experience in Java and Selenium, and possess a strong understanding of QA processes and principles. I am proficient in all phases of Software Testing and the SDLC, with experience in Agile-Scrum methodologies. I am skilled in front-end and back-end testing, including API and database testing, as well as mobile testing with Appium. Additionally, I am proficient in using project management tools such as JIRA and have experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins.

One of my notable achievements is creating an End-to-End Test Automation Framework from scratch for a library Web application, using the JUnit Cucumber Framework to drive the execution of Automated Tests. I have also designed and implemented a Selenium Automation Framework using OOP core Java, Selenium, JUnit, Cucumber, Maven, Git, and the Page Object Model. In my previous roles, I have participated in daily Agile-Scrum ceremonies, conducted both manual and automated testing, and tracked and reported software defects/bugs in Jira.

I have participated in a JAVA SDET Bootcamp, a test automation coding school in the USA that focuses on test automation, full-stack development, DevOps, and RPA. During this bootcamp, I completed over 1000+ hours of full-time course instruction, as well as gained valuable project and work experience in the industry.

I also completed the User Experience Research and Design Specialization by Michigan University, which included hands-on experience in user research, ideation, prototyping, and user testing. Applying various perspectives and methods, I ensured a great user experience at every step. This specialized knowledge in UX research and design enables me to apply user-centered design principles and practices in software testing as an SDET, ensuring that products are not only functional but also provide an optimal user experience.
