What I'm looking for
I’m a remote QA professional with 4+ years of experience in manual testing, exploratory testing, web and mobile application testing, and product-focused quality assurance across enterprise and distributed remote environments.
My experience includes functional testing, regression testing, usability validation, cross-browser testing, API validation, and backend verification using SQL. I have worked on enterprise and financial applications while collaborating with QA, development, and business teams in Agile/Scrum environments.
Alongside corporate QA experience, I actively participate in crowdtesting and remote testing ecosystems through platforms including uTest, Test IO, and Testlio. This has strengthened my ability to identify real-world usability and workflow issues across different devices, browsers, and user scenarios while working asynchronously with distributed teams.
I enjoy working in remote-first environments where ownership, collaboration, adaptability, and continuous learning are valued. I’m particularly interested in startups and product-focused companies building modern web and mobile applications where quality and user experience play an important role.
