What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that values QA and offers growth opportunities.

With over 8 years of experience as a QA engineer, I have honed my skills in both manual and automation testing for web and mobile applications. My expertise includes working with technologies such as Java, JUnit, and Selenium, as well as managing server-side testing with MS SQL and various testing tools. I am passionate about the importance of documentation in the development lifecycle and have created several instructional materials to enhance processes.

Currently, I serve as a mentor for aspiring QA professionals and curate conferences like SQA Days, where I share insights and guidance on testing methodologies. My diverse experience spans from team dynamics to product stages, and I thrive on new challenges that allow me to grow and contribute meaningfully to my team and projects.
