SPECIALITY:

I has a proven history of developing powerful QA Automation Solutions and offer amazing return on investment in terms of powerful automated test coverage leading to high quality software product(s) supported or developed by your company.

OBJECTIVE:

To obtain long term QA Automation / QA Analyst position where my Testing Automation experience and abilities will be utilized and advanced.

SUMMARY

• I has 15 years of automated and 17 years of manual testing experience.
• Proven performance in executing test automation projects development, performing software/hardware testing, hands - on test automation frameworks architecture design, programming and development.
• Professional strengths include strong object oriented programming; adaptable development, testing and debugging execution; innovative problem solving; follow through; planning skills.
• Expert in different tests types: Black Box, Front-End and Back-End, Stress & Load, Regression, Configuration, Functional, Installation & Integration, Smoke, and User Acceptance Testing.
• QA Methodologies: SDLC, Waterfall, Agile.
• In my career as a test automation developer I has written many custom tools to supplement automated test flow. I deliver low cost robust test solutions by coding custom tools as needed. I like to think outside of teh box. If a software package does not do what I want it to do, I will make my own.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
