What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a QA/testing role where I can own end-to-end test cycles, drive root-cause issue resolution, and lead teams. I want clear client collaboration, strong process, and room to grow QA capabilities.

I’m a Test Manager in Global App Testing, responsible for moderating full test cycles from start to end. I create and moderate test cases, handle bug moderation, and use tools like Jira and internal tracking systems to keep work moving.

I also lead communication with clients through official channels and run follow-ups for specific requests. I identify the root cause of issues that could put a test cycle on hold, then communicate clear, concise updates so colleagues covering the shift have full context.

Previously, as a QA Lead Tester, I managed the QA workflow, assigned tasks, verified bug and internal reports, and provided feedback and reviews for testers. I bring a strong QA foundation built on manual testing, usability and functionality evaluation, and a solid understanding of Software Development Life Cycles.
