What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning.

I am a dedicated QA Automation Engineer with a proven track record of enhancing software quality and team performance. At Distrokid, I successfully scaled the QA team from 2 to 10 engineers, establishing the company’s first automated testing framework that led to an impressive 80% reduction in post-release bugs. My expertise in building test automation using tools like Visual Studio Code, Git, and Selenium has significantly reduced regression testing time by 85%, while increasing test coverage across various platforms.

My role has also involved collaborating closely with product, engineering, and design teams throughout the Software Development Life Cycle. I have leveraged my analytical skills to draft comprehensive technical documentation and create custom testing tools that optimize QA workflows. My commitment to continuous improvement is evident in my partnerships with MarTech to enhance user experience, resulting in a 40% increase in user engagement and a 15% boost in conversions. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can contribute to both team growth and product excellence.
