UkraineWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior QA Engineer applying QA methodologies across the full testing lifecycle—test planning, test design, test cases, execution, and reporting. At EPAM, I perform manual, end-to-end testing of new API endpoints, document defects, and conduct root cause analysis with recommended corrective actions. I also validate database migration from Oracle to PostgreSQL and verify the accuracy, logic, and completeness of AWS QuickSight reports, including calculations, visualizations, and migrated reporting functionality.
I’ve worked in Agile environments using SAFe and Scrum, participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. Earlier roles strengthened my fundamentals in manual testing (functional, GUI, usability, smoke, regression) and maintaining comprehensive test documentation (Test Plan, Test Case, Test Suite, User Guide). I’ve also worked with GitLab version control, automation tools like Selenium IDE, and REST API testing, while regularly reviewing requirements and specifications and supporting onboarding by training new team members.
