What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote-first opportunities where quality ownership and collaboration are valued. I want to bridge development and stakeholders, build robust test strategies, and independently run QA from requirements to release sign-off.

I’m a Senior QA Test Engineer with 10+ years of experience across embedded software, financial systems, and enterprise platforms. I currently serve as the sole QA responsible for an internal software product at ASML, where quality decisions gate production releases.

I lead the full QA lifecycle independently—from requirements analysis and test case design to TPS creation, test execution, and formal TAR sign-off before every release. As a quality gatekeeper, I block features from release until critical defects are resolved and stakeholder approval is in place.

I bridge development and stakeholder teams by translating requirements into robust test strategies and operating independently in distributed, cross-border environments. I also bring test management and infrastructure support using Polarion, Kubernetes (K8s), and automation with Cypress/Cucumber, while validating behavior through REST API testing, SQL/MongoDB, and log analysis in Splunk.
