****************@*****.**
In my latest role, I worked as an Automation Test Engineer, where I designed and developed a complete automation framework from scratch using a Maven structure format. This framework included:
Page Factory classes
Library Methods
Resource classes
TestNG framework
Log4j framework
Listener class (captured screenshots on test failures and attached them to HTML reports for each test case)
I implemented this framework using Appium (for mobile testing) and Selenium WebDriver (Java) to enhance automation efficiency. Additionally, I performed manual regression testing on iOS, Android, and web applications, analyzed test results in JIRA, and reported defects using JIRA bug reports. These issues were tracked using Kanban, and I actively participated in daily stand-up meetings, collaborating with the development team to address and resolve issues.
In addition to my recent role, I have over 20 years of experience as a Software Test Engineer, with a strong background in air traffic services and solutions. I am well-versed in testing and verification of the TerraLens product (Real-Time GIS, Mapping, and Display SDK). My technical expertise includes scripting design, analysis, verification, and regression testing, using tools such as WinRunner/XRunner.
I have significant experience with testing and verification tools, including graphical display tools like Motif/XWindow, InterMAPhics, and Qt, and debugging tools such as gdb. Additionally, I have been responsible for the creation of XML scripts to test various features and attributes of TerraLens products using the Qt Application.
I possess strong oral and written communication skills and excel in team collaboration. My ability to work closely with developers has been key in verifying new functionalities, ensuring requirements are met, and enhancing overall product quality.

Sept 2021 – March 2025
As an Automation Test Engineer, I worked in the Transportation department of a multi-choice company. Our primary customers were from Europe in the rental construction industry, where companies rented out a fleet of construction equipment to contractors for various projects.
Our team developed an innovative strategy to enable operators (contractors' employees) to efficiently manage their tasks through a mobile application (available on iOS and Android). The app included several key features:
1.Operator login and role selection
2.Equipment selection (via onboard GPS tracking)
3.Equipment reservation (choosing from an available pool)
4.Digital key-based rental system
5.Pre-check and verification before usage
6.Task execution via the drive section of the app
7.Multi-day equipment use with digital locking, or task completion, returning the equipment to the available pool
My responsibilities included:
Developing an automation framework from scratch using Maven structure format
Writing test cases to cover key app functionalities, ensuring high test coverage
Using Appium + Selenium (Java) for automation testing
Detecting and reporting bugs early when new features or bug fixes were introduced
Ensuring seamless integration and preventing regressions
