What I'm looking for
As a dedicated Software Testing Engineer, I have led significant initiatives in quality assurance and Agile transformation at Logexa, where I established QA OKRs and streamlined processes. My leadership as a Scrum Master has improved delivery timelines and collaboration, resulting in a remarkable reduction of production bugs by 95% within the first quarter.
With a strong foundation in automation testing, I have developed comprehensive test suites using Cypress and integrated testing into CI/CD pipelines. My previous role at WUZZUF allowed me to release major features with minimal bugs, showcasing my commitment to delivering stable and high-quality software. I am passionate about continuous learning and have conducted workshops to enhance team skills in automation testing and software development practices.
