What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead QA strategy and teams, focus on API and automation testing, and drive process improvements within Agile environments.

I am a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer and QA Lead with over 13 years of experience delivering high-quality software across SaaS, web, and mobile platforms. I specialize in building QA processes from scratch, defining testing strategies, and leading QA teams in Agile environments.

My core strengths include API testing with Postman, exploratory testing, release validation, and introducing automation using tools like Playwright and Cypress. I have driven measurable improvements in release confidence, defect visibility, and reduced production issues by implementing structured testing practices and improved defect tracking.

I mentor QA engineers, collaborate closely with product and engineering teams, and facilitate cross-functional cooperation to ensure reliable releases and faster defect resolution. I hold certifications including Professional Scrum Master I and training in Rapid Software Testing and Automation Testing.
