What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on QA/Test Engineer role in an Agile team where I can apply manual testing expertise, collaborate closely with developers, and grow with new testing tools.

I am a hands-on manual test engineer with experience designing, executing, and managing test cases across web applications and Salesforce test environments. I focus on functional testing, defect lifecycle management, and clear collaboration with development teams to ensure timely resolution and high-quality releases.

My background includes roles at CHEQ Systems Inc. and HCX Technology Partners, where I applied Agile methodologies, used JIRA and Trello for tracking, and contributed to client-focused testing efforts. I am adaptable, eager to learn new tools, and committed to practical, user-focused testing that reduces risk and improves product quality.
