Professional Summary
Senior QA Engineer with 8 years delivering quality across enterprise insurance, cybersecurity, ITSM (ServiceNow), SaaS, eCommerce, web and mobile platforms. I currently work on QA for the Nexsure Insurance Platform at Dyad Tech — across the full software testing lifecycle, from requirements analysis and risk-based test planning through automation, defect triage, and release validation. ISTQB CTFL certified (Dec 2024). I pair deep manual and automation discipline (Selenium with Python and Java) with AI-augmented engineering: I built a set of AI-assisted QA tools as working prototypes — with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor — and demoed them to my team for bug reporting, coverage analysis, and test-case drafting. I mentor junior QA engineers to independent delivery and consistently turn ambiguous requirements into structured, traceable, automated coverage.

AI-Built QA Tools
AI Bug Reporter
Problem: manual bug write-ups were slow and inconsistent. Solution: turns a raw Jira ticket into a complete, structured report — steps, expected vs actual, severity, root-cause hypothesis, test scenarios — via Claude AI. Impact: eliminates hours of documentation and standardises report quality team-wide.
Test Coverage Analyser
Problem: coverage gaps across Nexsure modules were hard to see. Solution: joins live Zephyr + GitHub data into a coverage matrix, gap analysis, code-change risk view, and AI-generated manager summaries. Impact: QA managers get an at-a-glance coverage picture without manual collation.
AI Test Case Generator
Problem: authoring test cases by hand was repetitive and slow. Solution: reads Jira user stories, drafts structured cases with AI, and exports to Excel — ready for one-click Zephyr Scale import. Impact: substantially cuts test-authoring effort while keeping cases traceable to requirements.
Selenium Framework (Java)
Problem: brittle, code-heavy automation slowed coverage. Solution: JSON-driven, data-separated Selenium 4 + TestNG framework with reusable custom actions, ThreadLocal context, Allure reporting, and RestAssured API smoke tests. Impact: no hard-coded selectors, so QAs extend coverage without deep Java.
