What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

With over a decade of experience in quality assurance, I am currently a Senior QA Engineer at Skylo Technologies, where I focus on end-to-end validations for satellite communication features. My role involves creating detailed workflow documentation and facilitating knowledge transfer to the sales team, ensuring that our external partners are aligned with our feature development goals.

Previously, I served as a Principal QA Engineer at Ultimate Kronos Group, where I led a team of five testers and automated user interface test cases using Python and Playwright. My contributions included testing the UKG Talk product, which enhances communication for deskless employees, and providing valuable QA insights during feature development planning. My career has been marked by a commitment to high-quality standards and effective team management, which I have demonstrated throughout my roles in telecommunications and HR.
