What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a QA automation or junior SDET opportunity where I can build hands-on experience with SQL, API testing, TypeScript, Playwright, Git, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD while bringing strong functional QA leadership and release-quality discipline.

At Keywords Studios, I lead distributed QA teams across multiple projects, coordinating testing priorities, risks, deliverables, and release readiness with clients, stakeholders, developers, producers, and internal QA teams.

I've spent 10+ years validating web, mobile, launcher, enterprise, POS, warehouse, mortgage, and mobile-game products. I build and improve functional, regression, smoke, exploratory, and API-focused test coverage; manage defects; and give stakeholders clear visibility into quality risks and progress.

I also mentor junior testers and am actively transitioning toward QA automation and junior SDET work through hands-on learning in SQL, TypeScript, Playwright, Git, GitHub Actions, API testing, and CI/CD fundamentals.
