What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own QA from requirements to release in an Agile team—manual and automated testing, API validation, and CI/CD-driven quality checks—while collaborating across time zones to prevent defects in safety-critical systems.

I’m an Electronics Engineer and System Test Engineer specializing in validating mission-critical air traffic management systems used by international aviation authorities. I bring 6+ years of experience across requirements analysis, test design, manual and automated testing, and release validation in Agile environments.

In my most recent role, I played a key part in testing activities across ten (10) releases, supporting stable deployments for safety-critical systems. I led and supported the QA lifecycle, eliciting and analyzing 500+ requirements and designing/executing 300+ test cases, including automation of new and existing cases using Robot Framework.

I investigate defects, perform root-cause analysis, and collaborate with developers to verify corrective actions—especially within CI/CD-driven release processes. I also author user guides and technical documentation that support deployments for five (5) international aviation authorities and air navigation service providers.

I enjoy working with distributed teams across different time zones and improving testing processes to strengthen product quality. My goal is simple: deliver high-quality releases for safety-critical domains by making testing repeatable, measurable, and continuously improving.
