SUMMARY

In my professional years working as QA / Software Test Engineer for different types of software companies gave me opportunity to gain experience testing database, commercial software and web server applications in both waterfall and agile SDLC. In addition to basic QA work, I had opportunity to train others and supporting other department with goal of keeping customer happy.
