What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior QA role where I can own release and feature quality across web/mobile/API/database, collaborate cross-team, and use a strong testing toolbox (Jira, Postman/Swagger, SQL, automation support) to improve delivery reliability.

I’m a QA Engineer with 15 years of experience across Waterfall and Agile (Scrum and Kanban), focused on estimating and planning testing activities that help releases land on time. I bring hands-on experience testing web, desktop applications, mobile optimized web, native mobile, hybrids, as well as API and database layers.

I cover a wide testing spectrum—black-box and grey box testing, usability, installation, crossplatform and crossbrowser testing, integration, scenario testing, ad-hoc, and exploratory testing. I also work deeply with documentation and quality artifacts like Project Plans, Backlogs, functional/technical specifications, Test Plans/Cases, and detailed bug reports.

In senior roles, I’ve driven release and feature testing end-to-end: spec/design reviewing, grooming, functional and re-testing bugfixes, payment testing, and client/API/backend verification. I’ve also optimized testing processes to improve delivery speed and coordinated between automation and manual teams.

My toolkit reflects how I test and track quality: Jira and other test management platforms, Postman/Swagger and debugging tools, SQL across major RDBMS, and observability/analytics tooling (e.g., Mixpanel, Amplitude, Sentry, Datadog). I’m comfortable working cross-team with BA, backend, mobile teams, and designers to reduce risk and raise confidence in every release.
