Summary
Kadir Malik is a Senior Automation Tester with around 8 years of recent hands-on experience delivering automated and exploratory testing for public sector and financial services platforms across the UK. He has built robust SpecFlow/Selenium/C# frameworks integrated into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps/VSTS) and used tools including BrowserStack, OWASP ZAP and JMeter to cover cross-browser, security and performance test needs. His background includes working on government digital services at the Education and Skills Funding Agency and Department for Education, and consumer-facing e-commerce and personalization projects at Next and TransUnion. Kadir combines formal ISEB testing qualifications and an MSc in Computer Science with earlier development experience (Java, COBOL, mainframe) which gives him a pragmatic, systems-level view of quality. He also holds a lapsed SC-level security clearance and a CII financial planning certificate, reflecting both security awareness and domain breadth. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex acceptance criteria into maintainable automated suites and actionable test insights.
