About

I combine testing fundamentals with practical automation to deliver reliable releases across web, API, and data layers. I own end-to-end test coverage for REST APIs and UI flows, perform deep SQL validations, and collaborate with product and dev teams to reduce critical defects in production. I mentor peers on test design and actively work to embed security testing into the QA lifecycle — exploring API vulnerability assessment, OWASP Top 10 coverage, and shift-left security practices. Currently deepening expertise in penetration testing concepts to bridge the gap between QA and application security.
