What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end manual QA—planning tests, tracking defects in Jira/Tosca, validating system behavior, and monitoring performance—so releases stay stable, issues are resolved within SLA, and quality is measurable.

I’m a Manual QA Engineer with 2+ years of hands-on experience in manual testing and 8+ years of overall IT experience in Application Support and EDI operations. I’m known for identifying 700+ defects within 6 months, reducing application crashes by 50%, while ensuring application quality through end-to-end manual testing, including functional and regression testing.

I bring strong defect tracking, test planning, and system validation skills using Jira and Tosca, plus performance monitoring with Dynatrace in a Kubernetes environment. I’ve also delivered production support and critical issue resolution within SLA, working across SAP MII, ServiceNow, and Salesforce, and supporting EDI operations aligned to ANSI X12 using AS2, VAN, SFTP, and HTTPS.
