I am an experienced Manual QA and Verification Engineer with over 18 years of expertise in delivering high-quality software and system-level verification across industrial, embedded, and enterprise environments. My career has been built on strong foundations in manual testing, requirement validation, defect lifecycle management, traceability analysis, and process compliance.

I have worked extensively with global teams, including large-scale international clients such as GE and ASML, where I contributed to improving product quality, reducing defect leakage, and enhancing engineering discipline.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated closely with developers, architects, and stakeholders, ensuring smooth communication, fast issue resolution, and structured verification processes. I bring a detail-oriented approach, strong problem-solving skills, and a commitment to continuous improvement. I am proficient with tools such as Jira, Teamcenter, SAP, and have exposure to automation concepts as well.

I am passionate about delivering reliable and requirement-compliant products, strengthening QA processes, and contributing to positive, collaborative team environments. I thrive in dynamic, multicultural organizations and enjoy roles that challenge me to continuously develop my skills and contribute to higher quality standards.
