Experienced Data Analyst transitioning into QA testing.

What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth and collaboration in a dynamic team environment.

I am an experienced Data Analyst with a strong foundation in software testing principles and Agile Scrum methodologies. My journey in data analysis has equipped me with the skills to identify defects and write clear bug reports, which I am now applying as I transition into QA testing. I am currently gaining hands-on experience through crowdsourced testing platforms, enhancing my practical knowledge in real-world scenarios.

Throughout my career, I have worked at Toshiba Information Equipment (Phils.), Inc., where I analyzed HDD yield trends and test performance to identify quality issues and improvement opportunities. My role involved performing root cause analysis, querying large datasets using SQL, and summarizing findings with tools like Spotfire and Excel. I have also led a team of eight members, ensuring effective execution and management of daily operations.

In addition to my professional experience, I have completed various projects, including testing a banking dummy website and developing my QA testing skills. I hold certifications such as ISTQB Certified Tester and have undergone training in Agile methodologies, further solidifying my expertise in the field.
