I am a software tester with more than 3 years of experience. I started my career in an e-commerce startup called Browntape Technologies. I was looking forward to work with a software testing organization which would help me showcase my testing and technical skills. So I joined Qxf2. I love scripting in Python and using Selenium. I live in Goa and enjoy its beaches. My hobbies include playing cricket, driving and exploring new places.
