I find and localize e-commerce bugs using development experience, API testing, SQL, and QA automation fundamentals.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to transition into a dedicated QA role where I can apply my e-commerce development background, manual testing skills, API and SQL experience, and Java/Selenium automation training.

I've supported live Magento stores at Scandiweb serving 10K+ monthly users, delivering 200+ features from specification to release. I tested each feature before QA handoff, with over 70% passing review without rework.

My PHP development work across Magento and 1C-Bitrix made testing part of my daily routine: checking APIs in Postman, investigating production issues through DevTools, logs, and SQL, and validating payment flows, timeouts, partial refunds, and API contracts.

At SEO-complex and 5corners, I built and tested e-commerce features including payment methods, checkout conditions, personal accounts, data migrations, loyalty systems, and frontend layouts. I also wrote technical specifications, identified requirement gaps, supported UAT, and verified database migrations.

I'm moving into dedicated QA work with training in manual testing and Java/Selenium automation. My development background helps me understand architecture, analyze requirements from business and technical perspectives, and communicate effectively with developers.
