What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a QA/automation leadership role focusing on mobile/web automation, mentoring teams, Agile collaboration, and opportunities to build reliable test frameworks and measurable QA processes.

I bring 10+ years of hands-on experience in mobile and web quality assurance, combining manual testing discipline with scalable automation. I work effectively with distributed onshore/offshore teams and deliver high-quality software on schedule.

I have led QA teams and owned QA processes from specification to release, mentoring testers and coordinating cross-functional efforts. I’ve contributed to automation frameworks using Appium, Cypress and integrated test suites into Azure CI/CD pipelines.

My work spans functional, UI, regression, exploratory and API testing using tools such as Selenium, Cypress, Postman, Swagger, BrowserStack, TestRail and Jira. I focus on measurable QA metrics, defect tracking and root-cause analysis to improve product quality.

I hold ISTQB certification and a BS in Computer Science, and I pursue continuous learning through trainings in API testing, SQL for testers and cloud fundamentals. I seek roles where I can lead automation efforts, mentor teams and drive QA strategy.
