What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Quality Assurance role where I can strengthen my testing expertise, execute structured test plans, and collaborate in Agile teams to improve software quality through clear defect reporting and reliable validation.

I’m a motivated Information Technology graduate with practical experience in software development, API testing, and software quality assurance practices. I’ve built a strong foundation through self-directed learning and hands-on testing projects, with a clear goal of growing my career in Quality Assurance and Software Testing.

In my recent work as a Software Developer Intern, I used Postman to test RESTful API endpoints, validated MySQL data against application outputs, and tracked bugs and sprint tasks in Azure DevOps. I also reproduced and documented defects with clear steps and evidence, and collaborated in Agile ceremonies, while performing exploratory and functional testing to catch issues early.
