Junior QA Engineer specializing in manual and Cypress automation for mobile and API testing in Agile teams.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Junior QA Engineer with hands-on experience in manual and automation testing, currently contributing as the sole tester on a live Android mobile application (Lingua News). I collaborate directly with developers in fast-moving Agile environments, translating product risk into practical test execution and clear bug reporting.
I’m proficient in Cypress for E2E, API, and BDD/Cucumber using Page Object Model and CI/CD workflows with Jenkins, plus Postman automation with Newman and CI integration. I also use JIRA/Zephyr Scale for test management, and I design thorough black-box test suites using Boundary Value Analysis, Equivalence Partitioning, Decision Tables, and State Transition testing.
Beyond QA, I’ve led and coached customer support teams remotely and managed account performance in a fully async environment. That background strengthened my ownership mindset, attention to detail, and ability to reconcile data—skills I bring into disciplined QA and reliable releases.
