What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can own test design and defect lifecycle from execution to closure, collaborate closely with dev teams, and grow from manual QA into Playwright-based automation—especially for web, mobile, and APIs.

I’m an ISTQB-certified Quality Assurance Engineer with 2.5+ years of industry experience in manual testing of web and mobile applications. I focus on functional, regression, exploratory, and non-functional testing, strengthening quality through strong test case design, defect lifecycle management, and clear QA documentation.

I’ve worked across Android and iOS using BrowserStack, including accessibility testing (TalkBack, RTT), and I’ve tracked defects to closure in Jira. Recently, I built and published two GitHub portfolio projects—manual QA and REST API testing—and I’m currently developing automation skills in Playwright with TypeScript.
