ISTQB-certified QA engineer specializing in manual and Python test automation.
What I'm looking for
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.
