What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values quality assurance, offers opportunities for growth, and fosters collaboration within agile teams.

I am a detail-oriented QA Analyst with over 10 years of experience specializing in manual and exploratory testing of web, mobile, and SaaS applications. My expertise spans across various domains, including agricultural and financial enterprise systems. I am skilled in functional, regression, UAT, integration, and cross-browser testing, utilizing tools such as BrowserStack, Xcode, and Android Studio. Currently, I am enhancing my automation skills with Selenium and Cypress, which allows me to deliver high-quality software solutions efficiently.

Throughout my career, I have crafted best-in-class test artifacts optimized for speed and reusability, ensuring that they meet the needs of both technical and business stakeholders. I have a strong background in defect and test management tools like JIRA, Zephyr, and TestRail, and I am experienced in risk-based testing and effective communication of risks to leadership teams. My commitment to continuous professional development and upskilling has equipped me with advanced technical writing and documentation skills, enabling me to effectively report on testing outcomes and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
