What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA role where I test web apps and REST APIs end to end, partner with developers on fixes, and keep improving test plans, coverage, and quality—ideally with opportunities to grow my backend expertise.

I’m a QA Engineer with a backend development background, focused on testing web applications, APIs, integrations, and end-to-end business workflows. I’m committed to delivering reliable, high-quality software while continuously improving testing processes.

In my recent roles, I’ve worked as a Manual QA engineer and Backend Developer, validating business workflows, REST APIs, and database integrity across banking, FinTech/financial services, healthcare, retail & e-commerce, and internal enterprise systems. I’ve collaborated closely with development teams to support stable releases, including work that helped a B2B platform attract investment.

I bring strong test discipline—functional, regression, smoke, integration, API, UI, E2E, database testing, plus exploratory approaches—supported by Agile (Scrum/Kanban), defect lifecycle management, and structured test planning. From tools like Jira/Postman/Swagger to hands-on backend work with Java/Spring Boot and C#/.NET, I aim to connect quality assurance with deeper system understanding.
