"Seena's dedication to mastering the fundamentals of test automation before jumping into complex frameworks is what set her apart. During our 1:1 sessions, she consistently asked probing questions about test architecture and leadership. She didn't just want to automate; she wanted to understand how things worked under the hood. That curiosity is the true hallmark of a senior QA engineer, and it's exactly why she excelled in her interviews."
