What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dynamic and detail-oriented QA Engineer with extensive experience in backend development, software testing, and network administration. My expertise lies in identifying, resolving, and preemptively preventing software issues through robust test frameworks and backend solutions. I have a proven track record in implementing automated testing strategies that enhance user satisfaction and operational efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have spearheaded the implementation of JavaScript Playwright UI tests, reducing manual testing efforts by 50% while maintaining high test coverage and accuracy. My collaborative approach has led to significant improvements in application stability and a 40% reduction in bug tickets. I am passionate about mentoring junior QA engineers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and contributing to streamlined testing processes.
