What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values quality and innovation, offering opportunities for growth.

I am a dynamic and results-driven QA Engineer with over 9 years of proven expertise in ensuring product excellence across mobile, web, and API platforms. My career has been marked by a commitment to quality and continuous improvement, leading QA initiatives in fast-paced Agile Scrum environments. I excel in collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver seamless user experiences and have a track record of designing and executing both manual and automated test plans.

In my most recent role as Head of QA at Goss Media, I spearheaded QA efforts for a mobile app and CMS platform, significantly reducing post-release defects through rigorous testing and automation strategies. I built the QA team from scratch, mentoring junior engineers and establishing robust testing frameworks. My experience also includes leading testing for high-traffic mobile apps at Triller, where I developed automated test cases achieving over 80% test coverage. I am dedicated to ensuring the stability of high-profile projects and am known for my strong communication skills and problem-solving abilities.
