What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I can test not only banking systems end-to-end, collaborate with teams to turn requirements into strong test plans, and keep learning through challenging projects in a quality-driven environment.

Driven professional with a passion for continuous learning and growth. I’m a workaholic who thrives on challenges and consistently pushes my boundaries to achieve exceptional results.

In my current QA Test Analyst role, I perform functional, regression, and integration testing for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) monitoring systems for retail and corporate banking. I also analyze and test Kafka integrations for real-time data streaming, and validate loans management flows across origination, processing, and the full lifecycle.

I test internet and mobile banking applications used by retail customers, covering functional, regression, and integration scenarios. I also validate client documents and document management systems handling sensitive contracts, statements, and compliance records.

Previously at ČSOB, I identified business requirements, developed test plans, and executed testing while documenting and tracking defects. My broader background in financial advisory helps me understand banking regulations and customer needs, and I keep strengthening my toolkit through software testing, data, machine learning, cyber security basics, and Salesforce-focused learning.
