What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a job where I can use my skills to do meaningful work, continue learning and grow in my career.

As a dedicated QA Engineer with four years of experience, I specialize in manual and API testing while currently exploring automation testing using Playwright with Typescript. My strong understanding of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Agile methodologies allows me to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality software delivery.

In my current role at Kidadl, I have created detailed test plans and executed over 250 test cases, achieving a 20% reduction in defect escape rates. My experience includes conducting comprehensive API testing with Postman, where I covered 100% of endpoints, maintaining a failure rate of less than 2% during production. I also spearheaded end-to-end testing for a ChatGPT-powered web application, Mydas, where I laid the groundwork for automated testing and identified critical bugs before production.
