What I'm looking for

I am looking for full-time remote opportunities with global companies that value collaboration and quality.

I am a results-driven QA professional with over 17 years of experience in manual software testing across web, mobile, and desktop platforms. My career has been marked by a proven track record of working with distributed teams to deliver high-quality, bug-free software. I possess strong communication, documentation, and analytical skills, along with a deep understanding of QA best practices and Agile methodologies.

In my current role as a Senior QA Engineer, I lead testing efforts for web and mobile platforms in finance, legal tech, and e-commerce sectors. I design and execute manual test cases using Gherkin syntax, report and track bugs across multiple Agile sprints, and conduct smoke and regression testing on each build. My collaborative approach involves daily interactions with developers, product owners, and international QA teams to ensure seamless project execution.
