What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative Agile team role focused on test automation, improving release quality, mentorship opportunities, and measurable process impact.

I am a collaborative QA engineer with hands-on experience in manual and automated testing, test planning, and defect tracking. I work closely with product and engineering teams in Agile environments to deliver high-quality, bug-free releases.

I have a proven record of reducing post-release defects by 30% and automating 80% of regression suites using Cypress, which cut testing time by 40%. I document reproducible bug reports and maintain clear test documentation to accelerate resolution.

My technical toolbox includes Cypress, Playwright, Selenium, Postman, TestRail, Jest, and CI/CD tools like GitHub Actions and Jenkins. I also apply UI/UX design principles with Figma and produce reports using Power BI to improve usability and stakeholder visibility.

I hold a BSc in Software Engineering and certifications in TestRail and Microsoft Azure Fundamentals. I seek to continue improving software reliability through test automation, strong collaboration, and measurable process improvements.
