@olgacohanovscaia
Junior QA Engineer skilled in manual testing, API checks, and clear bug reporting.
What I'm looking for
I am a Junior QA Engineer with hands-on experience testing web applications and e-commerce features, skilled at writing and executing test cases, validating REST APIs in Postman, and logging structured defects in Jira. I bring practical knowledge of SDLC/STLC, testing methods, and basic Git, and I am preparing for the ISTQB Foundation exam.
In practice projects I designed positive and negative scenarios, executed functional, regression, UI, exploratory, and smoke tests, and prepared test data to support varied test cases. I also built basic UI automation scripts with Selenium to extend coverage and validated REST requests/responses for APIs.
Previously, as an Operations Agent I processed sensitive data with accuracy, trained new team members, and communicated across regions — experiences that strengthened my attention to detail, problem solving, and stakeholder communication. I am open to remote, hybrid, or on-site roles and willing to relocate to the UK or other European countries.
