What I'm looking for

I am seeking a QA role where I can lead test strategy and automation in an Agile team, improve product quality, and grow into test leadership.

I am a detail-oriented Quality Assurance Engineer with five years of experience designing and executing test plans for AI-driven products, APIs and UIs. I have developed comprehensive test strategies, created well-structured test plans and cases, and improved product integrity through functional, manual, performance, exploratory and integration testing.

In my recent role as a Senior Software Test Engineer I collaborated closely with developers and product managers, estimated and coordinated testing activities, and tracked defects using qTest and Git. I implemented Selenium WebDriver automation with Java, used JMeter and Postman for performance and API testing, and contributed to higher test coverage and release quality in Agile/Scrum environments.

I bring practical teaching experience and strong communication skills from lecturing roles, and a history of hands-on support experience in customer-facing escalation roles. I am motivated to apply advanced test management techniques and automation to consistently enhance product quality.
