Remote QA Engineer with experience in manual and automated testing, APIs, SQL, Playwright, and software quality assurance.
What I'm looking for
'm a QA Engineer with experience testing web applications, backend services, APIs, and live streaming platforms. My background combines manual testing with automation using Python, Playwright, SQL, and REST APIs, allowing me to validate complete user workflows and improve software quality throughout the development lifecycle.
In my current role, I work closely with developers, product managers, and support teams to test new features, investigate production issues, and ensure reliable releases. My responsibilities include creating and executing test plans, regression testing, exploratory testing, API validation with Postman, database verification using SQL, and building automated end-to-end tests with Playwright.
I've worked on applications involving live sports streaming, subscription platforms, content management systems, and real-time scoring systems, where accuracy and reliability are essential. I enjoy identifying edge cases, reproducing complex bugs, and providing detailed reports that help engineering teams resolve issues quickly.
Beyond QA, I have a strong interest in automation and AI. I build workflows using n8n, integrate APIs such as Gemini and OpenAI, and develop automation solutions that reduce manual work and improve productivity. I also enjoy learning about cloud technologies, software architecture, and modern development practices.
I thrive in remote, asynchronous environments where communication, ownership, and attention to detail are valued. My goal is to continue growing as a Software QA Engineer while expanding my expertise in test automation, backend systems, AI-powered workflows, and scalable software quality processes.
