@rustemismayilov
Manual QA engineer specializing in web/mobile fintech testing and REST API validation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Manual QA Engineer with 2+ years of experience testing web and mobile banking applications in the FinTech domain. I focus on reliable software quality through thorough functional, regression, integration, and API testing.
In my work, I design and maintain test documentation like test cases, regression suites, and checklists in Jira and TestRail. I validate REST APIs using Postman and Swagger—covering HTTP methods, status codes, authentication, and JSON payload validation.
I also run backend validation with SQL (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and investigate defects using logs and tools such as Kibana, Chrome DevTools, Charles, and Fiddler. Working in Agile (Scrum), I collaborate with developers and business analysts, and participate in CI/CD validation and smoke testing after deployments.
Alongside manual testing, I have basic automation knowledge with Playwright and I understand SDLC/STLC concepts. I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Engineering at Azerbaijan State Oil and Industry University.
