What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote QA role where I can own manual, exploratory, and automated testing for web and mobile apps, collaborate in Agile sprints, and improve release readiness using Jira defects and CI/CD-integrated test pipelines.

I’m a detail-oriented QA Engineer with hands-on experience in manual, exploratory, regression, and automated testing for web and mobile applications. With a frontend development background, I understand web architecture well enough to plan smarter tests and reproduce bugs faster.

I collaborate directly with developers in Agile/Scrum to reproduce issues, confirm fixes, and support release readiness decisions. I use Jira to drive clear defect documentation and full lifecycle tracking, including severity/priority classification and triage.

I build automated regression suites with Cypress and Appium, and I validate backend behavior through REST API testing with Postman. I’ve cut regression cycle time by 50% and reduced the application bug rate by 80%, while also maintaining QA documentation adopted by 10 new trainees.
