What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters technical growth, encourages collaboration, and values quality assurance in software development.

I’ve spent 3 years at The LEGO Group, starting as a junior QA engineer and advancing to mid-level. I was known for my ability to "break things" by exploring unconventional user behaviors, which helped improve product quality. I’m passionate about testing and automation, and I’m always seeking ways to improve efficiency. Currently, I live in Japan, where I’ve immersed myself in the culture over the past year. My diverse background and adaptability allow me to approach challenges creatively and with curiosity.
