What I'm looking for

I seek a QA role where I can expand automation skills, contribute to process improvements, work collaboratively, and deliver high-quality software in an agile environment.

I am a QA Engineer with hands-on experience testing web, mobile, and desktop applications across functional, non-functional, cross-browser, and responsive scenarios. I have executed API testing with Postman, validated databases with SQL, and investigated server issues via SSH tools.

I contributed to QA process design, maintained test cases in Xray and TestRail, and supported automation using C# and SpecFlow BDD practices. At previous roles I performed regression, smoke, sanity, and end-to-end testing, tracked defects in JIRA, and prepared QA sign-off reports.

I hold ISTQB Foundation certification and am pursuing an MSc in Computer Science. I am a collaborative team player, adaptable learner, and focused on delivering reliable, high-quality software aligned with business requirements.
