Here are some specific details regarding my accomplishments:
1. Implementation of Robust Testing Process.
While working as a QA Engineer on the last project, I played a pivotal role in building the testing process from scratch for a financial technology application. I developed comprehensive test plans, cases, and checklists covering all critical functionalities. This implementation resulted in a significant improvement in overall testing efficiency, reducing the number of critical defects and ensuring a higher-quality product.
2. Leadership and Team Development.
As the QA Team Lead, I successfully onboarded and led a team of QA engineers. I provided mentorship, guidance, and support to team members, fostering a collaborative and productive work environment. I helped the team enhance their skills and technical expertise through regular knowledge-sharing sessions and training initiatives, resulting in improved test coverage and more effective bug detection.
3. Automation Testing.
I have successfully implemented automation testing frameworks. I automated UI testing, resulting in a 60% reduction in testing time and a more reliable and consistent testing process. Additionally, I implemented REST API automation testing, enabling efficient and accurate validation of API responses and streamlining the testing process.
4. Bug Tracking and Reporting. 
I implemented a robust bug tracking system using Jira. I ensured all reported bugs were accurately captured, categorized, and assigned to the relevant team members. By closely monitoring and tracking bug resolution progress, I significantly improved the bug resolution time, reducing the average time from discovery to resolution by 40%. This streamlined process allowed for quick bug fixes and smoother project delivery.
I possess over 6 years of experience in both manual and automation testing across various domains, including fintech, blockchain, healthcare, marketplace, education, and more. 
Additionally, I have served as a QA Team Lead for over 1 year.
