What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values collaboration, offers growth opportunities, and allows me to leverage my testing expertise to enhance software quality.

I am a dedicated Senior Manual API Tester with over 8 years of extensive experience in software testing and quality assurance. My proficiency in executing functional, integration, and end-to-end testing, particularly in assessing API functionalities using tools like SoapUI, has allowed me to significantly improve user experience through meticulous feedback on system readiness and error identification.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated with cross-functional teams to enhance software quality. My recent role as a SAT Tester at the Internal Revenue Service involved engineering and executing functional and integration testing for critical portals, validating sensitive taxpayer data, and providing critical feedback on errors and inconsistencies. I am eager to leverage my testing expertise to drive excellence at prospective organizations.
