What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Software QA role where I can own automation frameworks, improve quality with AI-assisted testing, and grow into QA + data work—using metrics to drive decisions, collaborating closely with engineers, and shipping reliably.

I’m a Software QA Engineer with 8+ years testing web, desktop, REST APIs, and embedded automotive EV systems. I combine manual and automation approaches to improve release quality, reduce production defects, and adapt fast to new tech stacks through close collaboration with developers, testers, and product stakeholders.

At QUALYSOFT, I test EV wall-box chargers on real electric vehicles and simulators across OCPP 1.6/2.0.1 and ISO 15118 protocols. I reduced manual regression effort by 25–50% by building and maintaining automated tests in a custom low-code tool, and I helped reduce defect leakage between stages by almost 20% by refining FAT/SAT strategies in Agile and waterfall releases.

I’ve also built and extended automation frameworks for TV streaming microservices, reaching 100% coverage for new services and reducing setup time by 10% with Terraform and scripting. Along the way, I’ve worked on digital assets trading and e-commerce (including API/UI regression and visual testing), owned and stabilized a Java/Selenium automation framework in news and banking, and I coach aspiring QA engineers part-time—while steadily developing my AI and data skills to move toward QA + Data hybrid roles.
