  • Strong expertise in API testing using Postman and validation of complex application integrations.

  • Demonstrated experience incorporating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and continuous testing workflows.

  • Proven ability to design scalable automation frameworks, reusable testing components, and sustainable regression suites.

  • Experience establishing QA governance, quality metrics, testing standards, and release acceptance criteria.

  • Knowledge of accessibility testing, including AODA requirements where applicable.

  • Strong expertise in test reporting, root-cause analysis, risk assessment, and quality improvement initiatives.
