About

Software Quality Engineer with 2+ years of experience at Amazon, owning end-to-end quality for smart-home devices, flex application used by 5M+ global customers. Experienced in test strategy design, test case development, execution, and release sign-off, ensuring production readiness across each release cycle. Reduced post-release defect leakage by 15% through risk-based testing and improved defect analysis, contributing to a $30M product launch and ~95% first-contact resolution rate. Strong in functional and manual testing, with solid API validation experience using Postman. Currently building automation expertise with Selenium (Java) and Playwright, delivering CI-integrated projects via GitHub. I find a bug and I treat it as a win — it means the system worked and a customer didn’t have to find it instead. That mindset is what drives how I test, how I communicate defects, and how I decide when a release is truly ready to ship.
