What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can build on my manual and API testing background and grow into Playwright-based automation, working in Agile teams with strong CI/CD practices and collaborative quality ownership.

I’m a detail-oriented QA professional with over 10 years of experience testing web, mobile, and gaming applications. I combine manual testing discipline—like regression, exploratory, and API testing—with strong Agile collaboration and a focus on reliability and quality.

Across my roles as Software QA Analyst, Sr. QA Engineer, and Quality Assurance Analyst, I’ve designed and maintained test plans and test cases, documented and reported defects, and analyzed functional, technical, and UI requirements. I’ve performed CRUD and API testing across multiple environments and ensured fixes are verified to prevent post-release defects.

I’m also known for clear communication and teamwork: I collaborate with developers to validate new features, provide support to teammates, and participate in daily meetings, sprint planning, grooming, and retrospectives. My work spans desktop and mobile testing for iOS and Android, plus cross-browser/compatibility considerations where needed.

Now I’m actively transitioning into automation testing. In personal projects, I use Playwright for end-to-end test development, and I’m expanding my workflow with Git, integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, and using GitHub Actions. I keep learning modern testing practices and frameworks to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes.
