What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue improving mobile and web product quality through manual and automated testing, with opportunities to deepen my automation and API testing knowledge and collaborate closely with product and engineering teams.

At Picsart, I own quality assurance for mobile and web photo-editing and productivity tools, maintaining and optimizing 800+ test cases. I recovered and refactored approximately 500 failing or outdated cases, improved test pass rates, and support release readiness through regression and pre-release validation.

I combine manual testing leadership with Appium and Selenium automation contributions, investigate crashes, and collaborate with product managers, developers, and automation leads. I’m also deepening my knowledge of automation and API testing while pursuing postgraduate studies in Radio Engineering and Communication Systems.
