What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can lead QA initiatives and mentor junior testers.

I am a dedicated Quality Assurance Tester with a strong focus on executing comprehensive test cases and ensuring top-notch functionality across various platforms. My experience spans over four years, during which I have honed my skills in SQL, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, and JMeter. I thrive in dynamic environments, where my meticulous attention to detail and proactive problem-solving abilities allow me to uncover critical issues and enhance system performance.

At DigioutSource, I have successfully executed detailed test cases, performed regression testing, and ensured software stability across diverse platforms. My technical proficiency in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) enables me to apply my knowledge effectively in database testing and data validation. I pride myself on my ability to communicate findings clearly to stakeholders and collaborate with developers to resolve issues efficiently, contributing to the overall quality assurance process.
