United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Software QA Engineer with hands-on experience testing web, mobile, and game applications. I excel at designing and executing test cases, performing exploratory and regression testing, and tracking defects to improve product quality.
My background includes using tools like Jira, TestRail, Android Studio, Xcode, ADB, UNIX, BrowserStack, and Chrome DevTools to diagnose issues and support development teams. I have tested across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, and have experience with API testing and MySQL.
Prior experience as an Auto Damage Adjuster sharpened my investigative problem-solving and attention to detail, and my freelance game testing and market research work expanded my usability and playability testing skills. I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, user-focused software.
