What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging QA role in a dynamic environment that fosters growth and innovation.

With over 8 years of experience in quality assurance, I have honed my skills in testing applications across various platforms, including mobile (Android, iOS), MacOS, and web applications. My expertise lies in creating and maintaining comprehensive Test Plans, Checklists, and Bug Reports, ensuring a seamless Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). I have a proven track record in defect analysis and root cause investigation, providing insightful reports on features and test progress to product managers and stakeholders.

In my recent role as a Senior QA Engineer at ICE Global, I successfully mentored junior QA engineers and collaborated with cross-functional teams to enhance feature delivery by 43%. My hands-on experience with Manual testing, REST API testing using Postman, and test automation with K6 and Playwright has enabled me to lead projects to a remarkable 99.99% crash-free delivery. I am passionate about continuous improvement and have effectively coached teams on QA methodologies, ensuring high-quality deliverables in fast-paced environments.
