What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values quality assurance and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a certified QA Engineer with hands-on experience in both manual and automated testing. My journey began with an internship at Cerebrum Hub, where I developed a strong foundation in functional testing, bug reporting, and test automation. Since then, I have been actively involved in various projects through uTest, ensuring software quality through structured testing and defect analysis.

My experience includes working on food ordering systems, collaboration platforms, and CRM software, where I performed exploratory, regression, API, and UI testing. I am proficient in test case creation, bug reporting, and sprint coordination within Agile teams. My automation skills include writing Cypress tests for front-end applications and utilizing Postman for API testing, which has enhanced my ability to deliver high-quality software solutions.

With a Master's Degree in Wellness and Spa Service Design and Management and a Bachelor's Degree in Business, I bring a structured, process-oriented approach to software testing. I thrive on ensuring smooth user experiences by proactively identifying and addressing potential issues before they impact end users.
