What I'm looking for

I’m looking to join a team where I can lead functional, automation, and API testing end-to-end. I want Agile collaboration, strong defect prevention practices, and opportunities to optimize quality control while keeping products stable and business-aligned.

I’m a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer with 10+ years of experience in software quality assurance, functional analysis, and software validation across enterprise projects and web applications. I focus on preventing defects, optimizing processes, and ensuring stable, business-aligned products through end-to-end validation and defect management.

In my recent role, I designed, executed, and documented functional tests for administrative, financial, and operational systems, including functional and non-functional requirement validation for compliance with business rules. I built test cases, traceability matrices, and validation plans, and I coordinated with development teams and stakeholders across Agile (Scrum) ceremonies—resulting in reduced production incidents, improved test traceability, and optimized release timelines through structured quality control.

Previously, I delivered manual and automation testing for web apps and REST APIs, validating endpoints with Postman and Python-based tooling, and implementing regression and smoke test automation to support continuous releases. I’ve also led QA processes for internal and commercial platforms, standardizing QA practices and improving operational stability; and as a freelance QA consultant, I’ve provided test planning, exploratory testing, and QA process improvement for remote clients—consistently reducing rework through early defect prevention.
