What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead QA with strong manual testing and practical automation (Playwright/Selenium), working in agile teams. I want clear traceability, disciplined test coverage, and room to grow test strategy while collaborating effectively.

I’m a Senior QA Lead Manual Tester Analyst focused on functional software testing with strong test execution, quality control, and clear communication. I work across MacOS and Windows to ensure consistent coverage from test case processing through release validation.

In my roles, I handle manual testing, bug tracking, and traceability—assigning importance to issues and working with agile methodologies to keep delivery aligned with project needs. I’m also comfortable with database and repository knowledge to support thorough verification.

I complement manual testing with automation fundamentals using Playwright (basic) and Selenium IDE. I’ve applied front-end and responsive web testing, mobile testing, and API testing with REST, using Postman for validation.

I adapt well to change, collaborate effectively in teams, and resolve conflicts assertively. From smoke and sanity checks to regression, acceptance, unit, and component tests, I bring disciplined testing and reporting to every cycle.
