What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an entry-level QA role on a collaborative Agile team where I can apply manual testing skills for web/mobile, expand backend and API testing (SQL, Postman), contribute to software quality, and grow toward automation and testing leadership.

I am a detail-oriented junior software testing engineer with hands-on experience testing web and mobile applications, designing and executing test cases, and reporting defects using tools such as JIRA, Bugzilla, and Trello.

During my QA internship at ThehopeInternational I performed functional, regression, smoke, sanity, and exploratory testing, enhanced QA documentation, participated in sprint planning and stand-ups, and strengthened my understanding of SDLC, STLC, Agile practices, and the defect life cycle.

I hold a B.S. in Software Engineering and am pursuing an M.Sc. in Computer Science (GPA 3.70) researching LLMs for test-case generation; I also authored 50+ technical articles and continue expanding skills in SQL, backend validation, API testing with Postman, GitHub, and test management tools.
