[
I'm a Software Engineer and QA Analyst with a strong background in building and validating web and backend systems across modern technology stacks. I specialize in full-stack development using .NET, Node.js, SQL, and React, alongside manual and automated testing practices that ensure reliability, performance, and maintainability of software products.
My experience spans API testing, UI automation, test case design, defect tracking, and CI/CD integration, primarily using Cypress, Jest, xUnit, and Git-based workflows. With a development-first mindset, I approach quality engineering by embedding testing early in the SDLC and collaborating closely with engineering teams to prevent defects rather than detect them late.
