Hi, I am Raj

― My background

I am a driven and adaptable Automation QA Engineer with a BSc in Computer Science from Brunel University (2020) and professional experience in both manual and automated testing. At companies like Verisk and Bottomline Technologies, I have contributed to software quality through tasks such as creating and maintaining automated test scripts, performing manual regression testing, and supporting deployment to QA and UAT environments using tools like Typescript, WebStorm, Jenkins, Bitbucket, Git, and Jira. I have experience investigating customer issues, collaborating with developers and project managers, and working in Agile/Scrum environments. In addition, I actively develop personal projects, including a PS5 checkout bot and a car recommendation Android app, which demonstrate my coding abilities in Java and content-based filtering techniques.
