What I'm looking for
I’m a Manual QA Engineer with 3+ years of experience testing web and API products. I focus on business logic, end-to-end user flows, release validation, and defect investigation across different parts of the system. I’m comfortable taking ownership—from requirement review and test coverage design to release acceptance and defect support—while keeping testing structured and actionable.
In my recent role, I created and maintained test documentation for key platform modules, increasing critical scenario coverage from 30% to 90%. I owned the full testing cycle for part of product functionality, improved transparency and reproducibility of test artifacts, and helped assess change risks and critical regression scenarios. I also contributed to Allure reporting for automated tests and supported integration testing work involving Kafka and basic Docker test-environment usage, with a strong emphasis on clear communication and calm, straightforward teamwork.
