What I'm looking for
I am a Lead Quality Assurance Engineer Manager with a passion for ensuring product integrity and quality. At Hireology, I have successfully collaborated with engineering leadership to set quality assurance goals and manage a talented team. My unmatched work performance reviews reflect my commitment to excellence and my natural ability to solve complex problems.
Throughout my career, I have transitioned from manual testing to automation, utilizing tools like Java Selenium and Playwright in C#. I have built processes for daily releases and mentored QA professionals at various levels. My experience includes overseeing project direction, managing timelines, and participating in bi-weekly meetings that contribute to the transformation of the release process to CI/CD.
With a strong background in both manual and automated testing, I have developed automated testing solutions that ensure software quality and efficiency. I thrive in collaborative environments and am dedicated to integrating testing practices early in the development cycle to deliver high-quality products.
