What I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented and adaptable Quality Assurance Engineer with over 12 years of experience in spearheading quality assurance initiatives for software products.

My collaborative approach has allowed me to establish trusted relationships with key stakeholders, driving quality improvements through effective communication of test status, issues, and risks.
