What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can execute disciplined manual testing, strengthen cross-platform compatibility checks, and collaborate in agile teams to prioritize risk-based work, improve test coverage, and help ensure dependable product releases.

I’m a Software QA Engineer experienced in evaluating functionality in web and mobile software applications, writing and executing test cases, and identifying defects to ensure product quality. I test across browser and operating system compatibility and validate features against business requirements and technical specifications.

I design and execute functional, UI, smoke, and regression testing in fast-changing environments, using Jira and TestRail to document and track results. I also optimize test suites, create detailed bug reports, and use SQL to analyze data discrepancies and validate backend functionality during testing.

Before QA, I led complex cross-functional initiatives and conducted large-scale data and process analysis in enterprise environments. That background strengthens my risk identification, system evaluation, and structured problem solving—so I can communicate clearly in agile teams and prioritize what matters most to ship reliably.
