Software test engineer with eight years assuring quality for web and enterprise applications at a Sheffield software company. Designs and executes test plans, builds automated test suites, and works alongside developers to ship reliable software. Built a Selenium and API automation framework that cut regression time from two days to a few hours and caught defects manual testing kept missing. Strong across functional, regression, API and performance testing, plus CI integration so tests run on every build. Writes clear, reproducible defect reports and thinks like a sceptical user. Methodical, detail-obsessed and genuinely invested in quality. Looking for a test-engineer or QA-automation role with a team that treats quality as part of the build.
