What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth in QA and automation.

I am a dedicated QA Engineer with extensive experience in both manual and automated testing. Over the past several years, I have honed my skills in various programming languages, including Python, Java, and SQL, while working with leading companies such as MyTutor, Cvedia, and Emotech. My role at MyTutor involved implementing test scenarios and extending documentation for B2B systems, where I successfully increased automation test coverage.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in diverse projects, from game engine testing at Webgames to hardware testing for Emotech's Olly robot. My technical expertise extends to CI/CD integration, and I have a proven track record of enhancing testing frameworks and processes. I thrive in collaborative environments and am passionate about delivering high-quality software solutions.
