Experienced QA Engineer specializing in automation and team leadership.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly motivated and ambitious individual with over eleven years of experience in both manual and automated testing. My journey has taken me through various domains, including Health Care, B2B E-Commerce, and Fintech, where I have honed my skills in leading QA teams and ensuring the highest quality standards in software development.
Currently, I serve as a Principal QA Engineer at All Shore Virtual Staffing, where I lead a team of 10 QA professionals. My role involves not only overseeing the testing processes but also actively participating in hands-on testing and automation using tools like Cypress and Jenkins. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with product managers and developers to refine requirements and improve test coverage.
Throughout my career, I have successfully implemented CI/CD mechanisms and developed comprehensive test strategies that align with product roadmaps. I am passionate about continuous improvement and enjoy the challenges that come with leading diverse teams in a remote setting.
