What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, teamwork, and continuous learning.

I am a highly motivated and proactive Quality Assurance professional with over 14 years of experience in the field. I have a proven track record of delivering reliable results and have successfully built Quality Assurance structures from the ground up for projects lacking them. My experience includes leading QA teams and fostering a collaborative environment where new ideas are welcomed, and continuous learning is encouraged.

In my most recent role as a Senior QA Automation Engineer at March Tech, I built an automation framework for a revamped application, significantly enhancing test coverage and efficiency. I also co-founded the 'Automation Center of Excellence,' which empowered developers to automate their own tests. My expertise extends to UI and API automation using Cypress, as well as managing continuous deployment pipelines.

Throughout my career, I have consistently implemented and standardized QA processes, ensuring quality and consistency across deliverables. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to innovative projects and drive quality improvements in software development.
