What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can own manual testing quality in Agile sprints—triaging defects, validating fixes end-to-end, and improving user experience—ideally with web/mobile products and immersive domains like AR/VR or gaming.

I’m a Software QA Engineer with 5+ years of experience in manual and functional testing across web, mobile, e-commerce, and gaming platforms. I focus on finding real user-impacting defects through disciplined validation, strong documentation, and clear communication.

In my recent role, I performed issue validation and task triaging for VR applications, reproducing reported problems to confirm authenticity and consistent reproducibility. I collected logs and crash reports to support root-cause analysis and helped ensure fixes were verified before closure.

As a Game Tester, I owned end-to-end manual testing for mobile games across Android and iOS, covering functional, usability, regression, smoke, and exploratory testing. I validated key gameplay and monetization flows (IAP, rewards, ad integrations, and game economy balancing), and used SQL queries to verify backend data for users, purchases, inventory, and level progression.

I collaborate closely with development teams in Agile/Scrum to keep releases stable and predictable, logging and tracking defects in tools like ASANA and aligning on sprint priorities. Whether I’m testing cross-browser/cross-platform compatibility, API behavior, or network and multiplayer stability, I’m committed to delivering high-quality user experiences and measurable product improvements.
