QA and Test Automation Engineer focused on reliable systems, SQL validation, and moving toward full automation.
What I'm looking for
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.
