As a Quality Assurance Engineer, I have experience designing and executing test cases for web, API, and backend systems, performing both manual and automated testing. I developed and maintained API automation scripts using Java and RestAssured, conducted REST API validation using Postman, and ensured data consistency and performance across multiple environments. I managed defects through JIRA and TestLink, analyzed API failures using Kibana and Splunk, and executed automated test runs via Jenkins and GitLab CI.

Working within Agile/Scrum teams, I collaborated closely with developers to identify defects, verify fixes, and ensure seamless frontend–backend integration and high-quality releases.
