  • Strong knowledge of API testing, test-data management, backend validation, SQL, and service-integration testing.
  • Experience testing Salesforce solutions and full-stack applications across front-end, back-end, API, integration, and data layers.
  • Strong mentoring, coaching, technical-review, executive communication, stakeholder-management, analytical, and decision-making skills.
  • Knowledge of Agile, Scrum, DevOps, shift-left testing, risk-based testing, and the full software development lifecycle.
