Detail-oriented Software QA Engineer with 4+ years of experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented and results-driven Software QA Engineer with over four years of experience in driving quality across complex, cross-functional systems. My expertise spans e-commerce platforms, Windows-based systems, and digital health solutions in both SaaS and B2B environments. I excel in manual testing and am steadily advancing in automation using tools like Playwright, CodeceptJS, and Selenium. My proven track record includes building robust test suites, uncovering critical issues early, and accelerating release cycles.
At Jiji Health, I designed and implemented comprehensive test strategies and led both manual and automated testing efforts. I collaborated closely with engineering and product teams to validate features against specifications, ensuring compliance with business requirements and usability standards. My commitment to continuous improvement has driven me to develop automated test frameworks integrated with CI/CD pipelines, enhancing test coverage and deployment confidence.
Throughout my career, I have been a strong collaborator, bridging QA, product, design, and engineering teams. I am passionate about elevating QA maturity, reducing production bugs, and enabling confident, continuous delivery. I have mentored junior QA staff and contributed to multiple successful product launches, ensuring high-quality outcomes and customer satisfaction.
