## What I'm looking for

```text
I’m looking for a QA role where I can own test design, defect management, and regression/smoke execution in Agile/Scrum teams—while strengthening accessibility (AODA/WCAG) and API validation to improve software quality and test efficiency.
```

## About

```text
I’m a QA Engineer with 10+ years of experience in functional testing across E-commerce, Corporate Websites, and Accessibility (AODA) domains. I focus on turning business requirements into strong test scope, test scenarios, and reliable execution that helps teams ship confidently.

At Webware.io, I collaborate with Business Analysts and Development to analyze requirements, define test scope, and build effective test scenarios. I’ve contributed to 10–12 Agile/Scrum sprints, designed and executed 70+ test cases, and achieved over 90% test coverage across functional workflows.

I execute Regression and Smoke testing across 18+ releases to support stable, high-quality, defect-free deployments. I manage 80+ defects in JIRA through the complete defect lifecycle, helping reduce defect resolution turnaround time by 15%, and I support testing visibility through test plans, test scripts, and daily status reports.

Previously at 90degreenorth, I performed Accessibility Testing (AODA/WCAG) by validating keyboard navigation, screen reader compatibility, color contrast, focus indicators, and alternative text. I also managed 30+ defects and user stories in JIRA, supported SIT/UAT, and performed functional testing of Siftsort.com and BAML applications—while continuously improving test efficiency.
