What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous learning in quality assurance.

As a Software Quality Engineer with over 7 years of experience, I have honed my skills in QA and test automation, particularly using JavaScript, Cypress, and K6. My expertise lies in debugging flaky tests, conducting both functional and non-functional testing, and improving quality processes. I have a proven track record of collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality software efficiently.

In my current role at KidsKonnect B.V., I developed and executed functional testing strategies, significantly reducing manual effort by 60% through the resolution of flaky tests. I am passionate about continuous improvement and actively research new methodologies and tools to enhance quality engineering processes. My commitment to maintaining comprehensive documentation and conducting peer code reviews ensures that I uphold the highest standards of quality in software development.
