What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in data engineering, with a collaborative culture and opportunities to innovate.

I am a dynamic and technically skilled Senior QA Engineer with over 5 years of experience in Quality Assurance. Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Data Science at the University of East London, which complements my strong foundation in software testing and automation. My expertise lies in data technologies such as SQL, R, and Apache Spark, which I combine with my QA background to deliver high-quality, data-driven solutions.

Throughout my career, I have designed automation test frameworks and built CI/CD pipelines, significantly reducing manual QA efforts. My role at BPOSeats involved conducting API testing and developing custom ETL scripts for QA data tracking. I have successfully implemented data validation checks and introduced exploratory data analysis techniques to enhance system performance and user behavior insights. I am actively transitioning into data engineering and analytics roles, mastering modern data tools and frameworks to further my career.
