What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values quality and continuous improvement, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my skills.

I am a dedicated Quality Assurance professional with over three years of experience in manual and automation testing. My expertise lies in ensuring software reliability and performance, particularly within the Guidewire ecosystem. I have a strong foundation in Agile methodologies and defect management, which has allowed me to optimize testing processes and enhance product quality effectively.

During my tenure at PricewaterhouseCoopers, I specialized in quality analysis using tools such as Microsoft Azure, Jira, and Confluence. I successfully designed and executed comprehensive test cases that led to a 99.9% defect-free deployment rate. My role involved leading sprint planning and retrospectives, which streamlined Agile workflows and significantly reduced defect resolution time. I am committed to driving efficiency and continuous improvement in software development and QA environments.

As a Graduate Assistant at the University of New Haven, I conducted manual and exploratory testing for student-facing applications, ensuring seamless functionality and user experience. My contributions have consistently resulted in improved software quality and reduced defect rates. I am passionate about fostering collaboration between cross-functional teams to achieve common goals and enhance overall product delivery.
