What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and innovation, where I can contribute to high-quality software development and enhance my skills in automated testing.

I am a dedicated Quality Assurance Engineer with hands-on experience in manual testing for web and mobile applications, particularly in the fintech sector. My journey in software engineering has equipped me with a proven track record of designing and executing comprehensive test plans, identifying critical bugs, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality releases. I thrive in Agile/Scrum environments and am passionate about continuous improvement in testing processes.

Currently, I lead manual testing efforts for core financial applications at Okapi Finance, where I design and execute test scenarios and cases from business requirements. My role involves conducting various testing types, including regression, smoke, and exploratory testing, while logging and tracking bugs using Team Foundation Server (TFS). I take pride in improving defect detection by 25% through structured exploratory testing during User Acceptance Testing (UAT), ensuring that our products meet the highest standards of quality.
