What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters growth and innovation.

With over 7.5 years of experience as a Test Engineer, I have honed my skills in driving excellence in quality assurance across various domains, including Tax, Wealth Management, and E-Commerce. My journey has equipped me with a robust understanding of both functional and non-functional testing, enabling me to create, edit, and implement comprehensive test instructions that significantly improve quality and efficiency.

At CGI, I have played a pivotal role in the Tax and Wealth Management project, actively engaging in requirements gathering and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure adherence to business requirements. My expertise in tools such as JIRA and Azure DevOps has allowed me to manage test cases and defect reporting effectively, while my hands-on experience with ETL testing and SQL has further strengthened my technical acumen. I am passionate about continuous improvement and thrive in Agile environments, where I contribute to sprint reviews and retrospectives to enhance project quality metrics.
