GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I am a Product-oriented Quality Assurance Specialist with extensive experience in music production, audio software, and sound design.

Transitioning into Product Management, I aim to bring user-centric, technically grounded, and creatively inspired products to life in the music tech industry. My experience includes executing functional, regression, and exploratory tests across multiple platforms, refining specifications based on user feedback, and managing bug reports and documentation using Jira and Confluence. I have worked cross-functionally with teams at partner companies, enhancing my ability to deliver high-quality products that resonate with users.
