QA Engineer with 13 years’ experience in manual testing, test documentation, and quality improvement.
What I'm looking for
I’m an IT specialist and QA Engineer with 13 years of experience in software testing, focused on manual testing of all types. I work across the software development lifecycle, translating business processes into clear, comprehensive test scenarios and ensuring test plans comply with technical principles and standards.
I’m comfortable taking preventive actions when risks become unacceptable and applying different testing approaches and methodologies to keep quality high. I also enjoy communication and team work: I’ve managed tester teams, trained new members, and maintained consistently high accuracy.
In my current role, I write and maintain test documentation and perform full-cycle product testing from concept to release. I optimize testing standards, perform smoke testing in the production environment, and recently delivered billing and payments functionality—covering the full event ticket purchasing flow and user management.
Previously, in a release team QA role, I audited QA project teams and implemented software quality improvement processes, including 3rd line customer support. I reduced active production incidents from 50+ to 1–5 by improving smoke testing and optimized control for problematic projects, and earlier I worked with test management and performance testing tools like JIRA, TestRail, and JMeter.
