What I'm looking for

Looking for a challenging role that leverages my technical expertise and leadership skills to drive software quality and process improvements in a fast-paced fintech environment.

As a seasoned software tester with extensive experience in fast-paced fintech domains, I have developed a strong proficiency in quality assurance and software testing of web-based, mobile applications, and client-server applications. With a background in finance and a passion for technology, I have honed my skills in SDLC and agile/Scrum methodologies, manual and automated testing, and writing test cases, test plans, and designing test procedures.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various fintech companies, including Multigate International Ltd, Interswitch Nigeria Ltd, and Ecobank Software Center, where I have led and guided QA teams, designed and executed comprehensive test plans, and ensured compliance with industry-specific standards and regulations. My expertise in identifying gaps and suggesting improvement methods has enabled me to drive process improvements and enhance overall software quality.

With a strong foundation in customer relations, stakeholder management, and team collaboration, I am well-equipped to work effectively with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to deliver high-quality software products that meet business or product requirements.
