What I'm looking for

I seek a QA/Test Automation role that leverages SQL and manual testing experience, offers mentorship in automation, and supports professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a QA & Test Automation Engineer with hands-on experience in manual testing, UAT coordination, and SQL-based data validation. I collaborate closely with developers, product teams, and users to reproduce issues, verify fixes, and ensure reliable deployments.

At Watu Africa I performed pre-deployment system testing, documented defects clearly for developers, and supported release cycles with structured testing and user training. I used SQL queries to validate data accuracy across production and test environments.

Alongside my QA role, I taught mathematics part-time at the Technical University of Mombasa, developing curricula and assessments that improved communication and instructional clarity. I also coordinated multi-stakeholder programs earlier in my career, managing reporting, budgeting, and team planning.

I hold an MSc in Mathematics and a BSc in Mathematics & Computer Science, complemented by a Computational Thinking certificate. I am seeking QA / Test Automation opportunities that allow me to grow into full automation while contributing strong analytical and database-focused testing skills.
