What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to contribute to software quality assurance initiatives in a collaborative environment that values continuous improvement and innovation.

I am a highly skilled and detail-oriented Quality Assurance Specialist with over four years of experience in manual testing, software quality assurance, and defect management. I am proficient in API testing using tools like Postman and Swagger, and I excel in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) while working within Agile methodologies such as Scrum and Kanban. My proven track record includes collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure the delivery of high-quality software products.

Currently, I lead a manual testing team and manage projects to design test cases and execute test plans based on business requirements. My role involves conducting regression, exploratory, and functional testing across mobile and web platforms, as well as leading UAT to validate product functionality. I utilize JIRA for defect tracking and project management, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality software products.

In addition to my technical skills, I have developed comprehensive QA training materials and mentored students in manual testing methodologies. I am passionate about ensuring optimal user experiences and identifying platform issues, which I address through collaboration with development teams to ensure product stability and functionality.
