01 / About
Quality is where domain knowledge meets curiosity.
Full-fledged projects delivered with rigorous testing, reporting, and release validation.
Team members coordinated and supported during project delivery and validation cycles.
02 / Expertise
My testing foundation.
📡
Network & Modem Validation
Hands-on validation of real-device and real-network behavior from registration to end-to-end call flows.
📶
RF & Connectivity Testing
Focused on conformance, performance, carrier aggregation, DSS, and reliable connectivity experiences.
⚙️
Device & Chipset Platforms
Practical exposure to chipset-based validation, firmware flashing, tracing, and basic log investigation.
🧰
QA Tooling & Delivery
Structured testing, regression validation, clear bug reporting, and productive developer coordination.
03 / Direction
From specialized testing to software quality engineering.
01 — FOUNDATION
Mobile & Network QA
Applying deep modem, RF, chipset, and connectivity knowledge to deliver dependable mobile experiences.
02 — BUILDING
Automation Skills
Strengthening Python, Playwright, software testing fundamentals, web QA, and API testing concepts.
03 — NEXT
Quality Engineering
Moving toward Software QA, Test Automation, Mobile Automation, and suitable SDET opportunities.

05 / Case studies
Featured project case studies.
Full write-ups of the projects I'm building to demonstrate testing and automation skill, not just a link to a repo — objective, approach, tools, and outcome for each.
PROJECT / 01Playwright Web Automation Framework
PROJECT / 01
Playwright Web Automation Framework
Objective
Build a maintainable end-to-end regression suite for a sample web app instead of one-off scripts.
Approach
Page Object Model to isolate locators from test logic; data-driven test cases; CI-friendly config.
Tools
Playwright, TypeScript, GitHub Actions, Allure reporting
Outcome
Screenshots and trace capture on failure, HTML test report, and a suite that runs on every push.
PROJECT / 02Python API Test Suite
PROJECT / 02
Python API Test Suite
Objective
Validate a REST API's core contract — happy paths, edge cases, and error handling — without a UI.
Approach
Structured test cases with clear pre-conditions and assertions; fixtures for reusable test data.
Tools
Python, pytest, requests, JSON schema validation
Outcome
A documented suite covering status codes, payload shape, and negative scenarios with readable reports.
PROJECT / 03Mobile QA Case Study
PROJECT / 03
Mobile QA Case Study
Objective
Show, publicly and without confidential data, how I actually test a mobile device end to end.
Approach
Sanitized test scenarios covering attach/detach, network switching, and connectivity edge cases.
Tools
ADB, QXDM-style log review (sanitized), a defect-reporting template
Outcome
A shareable test plan, a sample defect report, and a short recording of the test session.

06 / Certifications
Verified learning, not just claimed learning.
Nothing completed yet — this section stays empty of real cards until a certification is actually earned and verifiable. Currently studying toward:
07 / Artefacts
Sanitized test artefacts.
Real examples of how I document testing work — no confidential or employer-owned data, ever.
