What I'm looking for

I seek a remote/hybrid QA or automation role in an Agile team where I can improve test coverage, implement automation, and help deliver high-quality user experiences while mentoring others.

I am a detail-oriented ISTQB-certified QA engineer with 5+ years of experience testing web and mobile applications, focused on delivering exceptional user experiences through rigorous testing and collaboration. I have proven success identifying critical bugs, improving test coverage, and reducing regression time through targeted automation.

My background spans hands-on manual testing (regression, smoke, UAT, exploratory, accessibility) and test automation in Python, plus experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and monitoring solutions. I regularly use tools such as Jira, Zephyr, Insomnia, Jenkins, GitLab CI and Grafana to streamline quality and release processes.

I thrive in Agile environments, collaborate closely with developers and product teams, and mentor junior testers to raise overall quality standards. I am open to remote or hybrid roles where I can continue improving testing practices and drive measurable quality improvements.
