What I'm looking for

I seek QA roles where I can improve testing discipline, mentor teams, implement reliable test practices, and contribute to high-quality product delivery.

I am a Quality Assurance Engineer with broad hands-on experience in manual, functional, regression and performance testing across international teams and clients.

My background includes building and leading teams, developing comprehensive test plans and cases, and establishing quality-control standards while running my own business and managing operations.

I have worked with global clients (UK and USA) and contributed QA expertise from early development through client delivery, producing detailed defect reports and supporting test data generation.

I prioritize attention to detail, continuous improvement of QA practices, mentoring junior engineers, and implementing automation where it strengthens reliability and CI workflows.
