What I'm looking for

I seek a data-driven QA or analyst role where I can apply testing, SQL and BI skills to improve product reliability and inform strategic decisions in a collaborative team.

I am a detail-oriented Quality Assurance Engineer and Data Analyst with practical experience designing test strategies, executing API tests, and building dashboards to improve product reliability and business decisions.

I have identified and reported defects, collaborated with developers and product managers to streamline testing workflows, and documented QA processes to ensure traceability and collaboration across teams.

I analyze transactional and operational data using SQL, Power BI, and Excel, and I build and maintain dashboards in Metabase and Power BI to surface insights that reduce failures and improve efficiency.

My background includes administrative and coordination roles where I implemented classification and financial tracking systems, produced reporting that informed management decisions, and supported events and operations to drive measurable improvements.
