01 — About

Quality is a craft, not an afterthought.

I design and execute tests across the full SDLC — from exploratory and functional scripts to automation suites, API contracts, and load benchmarks. My focus is finding risk early and shipping confidence with every release.

Trained under the DigiLians Intensive Diploma and rooted in ISTQB principles, I work fluently with Selenium, REST Assured, JMeter, Appium, and CI/CD pipelines on Jenkins and GitHub Actions.
