## About

```text
At HARMAN International, I test connectivity solutions across Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular, using both automated scripts and manual testing. I also maintain test environments and investigate issues to support reliable software.

Previously, as a Defect Manager at Luxoft, I managed defects for the On/Off component of the Daimler project at MBition Company. I helped improve defect tracking and resolved more than 300 high-priority defects.

Earlier, I tested automotive software at Luxoft and worked on QA at Finastra and 2Checkout (now Verifone). I’ve also delivered ALM training and onboarded colleagues, and I hold ISTQB Foundation and Advanced Technical Test Analyst certifications.
