What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities in software quality assurance.

With over 3 years of experience as a Software QA Engineer, I have honed my skills in both automated and manual testing across various platforms, including web and mobile applications. My hands-on experience in building test automation frameworks from scratch using Selenium and Python has allowed me to significantly enhance testing efficiency and reduce maintenance time. I thrive in collaborative environments, engaging effectively with cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality software delivery.

In my current role as an Automation Engineer at Reelly.io, I successfully implemented the Page Object pattern, which led to a 20% reduction in test maintenance time. My ability to analyze test execution results and optimize automation code has resulted in a 35% decrease in testing time. Previously, at Verifone, I conducted rigorous software testing on point-of-sale systems, improving product stability and reducing customer support issues by 15%. I am committed to continuous improvement and delivering exceptional results in every project I undertake.
