What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Quality Engineering Professional with over 6 years of experience in the software industry, currently serving as a QA Lead at Cambio Software Engineering. My journey in quality assurance began as a Trainee QA Engineer, and through hard work and determination, I have advanced to lead roles where I guide teams and ensure the highest standards of software quality.
At Cambio, I have successfully created and managed comprehensive test plans, automated testing scripts using the Cambio Test Automation Framework with Selenium and Java, and performed various types of testing including functional, regression, and API testing. My role as a Scrum Master has also allowed me to hone my leadership skills, facilitating agile processes and ensuring smooth project execution.
I thrive in fast-paced environments and am always eager to learn and adapt. My goal is to continue developing my skills while contributing to innovative projects that challenge me and help me grow professionally.
