South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated QA and test engineer with extensive technical experience in developing test automation tools and executing QA engineering procedures. My expertise lies in Cypress and JavaScript scripting, where I design comprehensive test scenarios to ensure software quality. I pride myself on my ability to quickly adapt to new technologies, which has been instrumental in my career.
Throughout my professional journey, I have worked with various organizations, including eTeacher Group and IO Digital, where I honed my skills in both manual and automated testing. My responsibilities included creating and implementing test features, debugging, and ensuring that all test life cycles were meticulously followed. Additionally, I have experience in game testing, where I focused on bug tracking and game-flow assessments, showcasing my versatility in the QA field.
Currently, I am pursuing further education in Software Engineering while continuously enhancing my skills through platforms like Udemy and FreeCodeCamp. I am also working towards my ISTQB Foundation Level certification, which I believe will further solidify my expertise in software testing.
