I’m looking for a QA Engineer role where I can combine hands-on manual testing with Playwright/Python automation, API testing, and product-focused quality thinking. I enjoy exploring edge cases, investigating defects, and collaborating with developers and stakeholders. I value ownership, continuous learning, and teams where QA contributes early to building reliable, user-focused products.

I build automated and manual QA coverage for web, mobile, API, and backend releases.
What I'm looking for
At Tangerine Life Insurance, I build and maintain Playwright and Python end-to-end regression and smoke suites, while owning release testing and quality sign-off.
I combine exploratory, functional, and cross-platform testing across web, tablet, and mobile layouts with REST API, authentication, schema, and SQL data validation. I identified a critical live calculation error that prevented an estimated ₦72 million in revenue loss.
Previously at Tapass Technology and Decagon, I supported QA, backend validation, API integrations, and payment-related applications. I also built Docker-deployed APIs for third-party integrations and a payment-gateway application that improved gross written premium by about 30%.
I work closely with developers through actionable Jira and Linear defect reports, root-cause evidence, and structured test documentation. My SauceDemo automation project applies Python, Playwright, Pytest, Page Object Model, GitHub Actions, and CI/CD to key e-commerce user journeys.
