QA Engineer - Manual & Automation Testing (AI, Web, Mobile, & API)

I am a QA Engineer with 5+ years of experience in Manual Testing, Automation Testing, Web Testing, Mobile App Testing, API Testing, Functional Testing, and Regression Testing. I work with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Postman, Appium, and JMeter to help teams find issues early and release stable software with confidence. I currently work as a QA Lead, handling quality across multiple SaaS, web, mobile, and AI-powered applications. My work covers the complete QA cycle, from understanding requirements and preparing test scenarios to execution, bug reporting, regression testing, automation, and release validation. I have hands-on experience building automation frameworks and test suites using Playwright, Cypress, and Selenium. I built a Playwright automation framework from scratch using TypeScript and have worked on automating regression scenarios to reduce repetitive manual testing and make releases more reliable. Along with automation, I spend a lot of time on manual and exploratory testing because automation alone cannot catch every usability issue, workflow problem, or unexpected user behaviour. My testing experience includes web applications, SaaS platforms, mobile apps, APIs, healthcare applications, CRM systems, AI-powered products, media platforms, and IoT/BLE-connected applications. For API testing, I use Postman to validate endpoints, request/response data, authentication, integrations, business rules, and error handling. I also work with Appium and real devices for Android and iOS testing, and JMeter for performance and load testing. I usually test complete user journeys rather than checking screens separately. I look at business logic, edge cases, integrations, permissions, responsive behaviour, browser compatibility, API responses, error handling, and the areas most likely to create issues after release. I can help if you need: - Manual Testing for web, SaaS, and mobile applications - Automation Testing using Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium - Web Testing and Cross-Browser Testing - Mobile App Testing for Android and iOS - API Testing using Postman - Functional, Regression, Integration, and End-to-End Testing - Test Case and Test Plan preparation - Bug Reporting and Defect Management - Performance and Load Testing using JMeter - Appium-based Mobile Automation - QA support during Agile development and release cycles I keep bug reports simple and developer-friendly with clear reproduction steps, expected and actual results, screenshots or recordings, and the right severity and priority. I am comfortable joining an existing development team, taking responsibility for QA on a new product, helping with a one-time release audit, or improving an existing manual and automation testing process. If you have a web application, SaaS platform, mobile app, or API that needs testing, send me a short message about the product and your current QA setup. I can review it and suggest the best place to start.
