What I'm looking for

I seek a senior QA role focused on automation, CI/CD and performance testing within collaborative Agile teams, preferring remote/hybrid work with opportunities for technical leadership.

I am a results-driven QA Engineer with over seven years of experience delivering high-quality software through manual and automated testing. I focus on practical, measurable improvements to product reliability and delivery cadence.

I design and maintain automation frameworks using Playwright, Selenium and Appium, and execute API and performance testing with Postman and JMeter. My CI/CD experience with Jenkins, GitHub Actions and Tekton has accelerated deployments and reduced release risk.

I collaborate effectively with distributed Agile teams across hybrid and remote environments, contributing to regulatory compliance, UAT, and cross-border fintech and AI projects. I emphasize clear QA reporting, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement.

I hold ISTQB and multiple industry certifications and I pursue continuous learning in test automation, CI/CD and performance engineering. I bring a practical, team-oriented approach and a track record of measurable QA impact.
