What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic environment where I can leverage my QA expertise and product management knowledge to contribute to innovative projects, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive quality improvements.

As a dedicated Quality Assurance Analyst, I bring over five years of experience in both manual and automated testing, ensuring the delivery of high-quality software products. My expertise includes creating comprehensive test plans, executing tests, and identifying issues to guarantee software excellence. I am proficient in various testing tools such as Selenium, JIRA, and TestRail, and I am well-versed in Agile methodologies. My passion lies in collaborating with development teams to enhance user experience and deliver bug-free solutions.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work in diverse environments, including roles in North Carolina, Amsterdam, and the United Kingdom. These experiences have honed my ability to adapt to different project requirements and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams. I take pride in my attention to detail and analytical thinking, which have been instrumental in identifying loopholes and resolving issues through regression testing.

I hold a Certificate of Higher Education in Product Management from CodeOp and a Master of Science in Quality Management from the University of the West of Scotland. My educational background, combined with my professional experience, equips me to contribute meaningfully to quality assurance and product management initiatives.
