@mariqteneva
QA automation engineer with full‑stack web development background and strong quality focus.
BulgariaWhat I'm looking for
I am a QA automation engineer with hands‑on experience in manual and automated testing, test planning, and scripting using Playwright, JS/TS and .NET tooling. I combine a background in web development (PHP, Laravel, WordPress, JavaScript, HTML/CSS) with practical QA training and industry experience at Endava and Technest.
At Endava I wrote, executed, and maintained manual test cases, defined acceptance scenarios, and developed automation scripts in a custom JS/TS Playwright framework while working in Scrum teams; I also routinely reviewed and improved the automated test suite. Earlier roles as a web developer and freelance developer strengthened my debugging, frontend and backend understanding, and my ability to deliver production‑ready features.
After a recent career break during which I launched and managed a small business and supported animal health professionals, I return to QA with renewed discipline, empathy, and a strong commitment to quality, process improvement, and reliable delivery.
