ISTQB Certified Senior Quality Assurance Engineer with over 13 years of experience specializing in the financial services sector. I possess a deep technical mastery of end-to-end automation, leveraging Java with frameworks such as Selenium, TestNG, Cucumber, RCPTT, QF-Test, and Appium for mobile testing. I am an expert in API and backend validation, utilizing RestAssured, Postman, and SQL to ensure data integrity across complex relational database systems. With a strong academic foundation—holding both a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Computer Science from Addis Ababa University—I am committed to the "Shift-Left" philosophy, driving software reliability through rigorous automation and strategic quality advocacy.
- Test Connectors - Validate the data from connector is aligned with the source of the data - Use different tools like postman to fetch data from APIs and compare the data from the connectors - Test data materialization - Test Data flow - Write scripts for automation of the connectors - Involved in writing documentation
- Verify the integrated data is correctly fetched from the source - Compare the source data and the integrated data - Validate the integrated Data materialized properly - Creating stored procedures for automation of the ETL process - Involved in writing documentation
Role: QA Engineer - I manage the Full Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), from initial requirement analysis to final test closure. During Sprint Planning, I provide accurate Story Point Estimations and identify potential 'Showstoppers' early in the design phase to prevent scope creep - I translate complex Business Requirements and User Personas into high-coverage Test Suites. I focus on Risk-Based Testing, ensuring that critical user paths are prioritised and that edge cases are fully explored to maximise product resilience. - Decreased average defect resolution time by 30% by implementing a standardised JIRA reporting workflow that improved dev-to-tester communication - Identified on average 5 critical UX flaws in reporting features prior to launch in every sprint, preventing a projected 15% drop in user retention through exploratory testing - I perform rigorous manual validation while concurrently identifying candidates for Automation. When filing defects in JIRA, I provide deep-dive technical analysis (logs, API payloads, and DB state) to accelerate developer turnaround time. I act as a Quality Advocate during Sprint Retrospectives, proposing process improvements (such as 'Definition of Ready' criteria) to reduce defect leakage and enhance the overall team velocity Achieved 85% API reliability by developing an automated Postman suite that validated 120+ endpoints across Dev and QA environments
