About

I am a Senior Software Quality Assurance Analyst with over 5 years of industry experience, currently driving quality engineering at Contour Software. My expertise lies in shifting focus from simple 'bug hunting' to comprehensive Quality Engineering (QA 5.0). What I bring to the table: Technical Mastery: Deep experience in Mobile (iOS/Android) and Web Automation. I specialize in building robust frameworks using Playwright, Python, and SQL, ensuring seamless CI/CD integration via Azure DevOps. Backend Precision: Extensive background in API testing and database validation (SQL Server/MongoDB) for complex ERP and FinTech solutions. Mentorship & Leadership: As a Visiting Lecturer at FAST-NU, I bridge the industry-academia gap, teaching advanced Software Testing and HCI concepts to the next generation of engineers. I am passionate about cloud-native testing and helping teams deliver bug-free, user-centric software. Let’s connect to discuss QA automation, EdTech, or the future of software testing.
