Professional summary

Computer Science graduate who breaks software on purpose and proves it stays fixed. Comfortable across manual and automation testing — writes clear test cases, files reproducible defects in JIRA, and builds Selenium and Playwright suites that run green in CI. Solid grasp of API testing with Postman and REST Assured, the test pyramid, and the difference between flaky and failing. Hungry to own quality on a real product team.
