I’m a Test Lead who drives end-to-end quality through Agile and automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Test Lead and Sr. Test Engineer with ISTQB certification and a strong focus on Agile testing. I lead user acceptance testing and system quality initiatives, ensuring end users requirements are met.
Across my roles (including Test Manager), I’ve owned end-to-end system testing for web applications and worked across manual, functional, smoke, regression, and UAT. I develop test plans and strategies to balance quality with on-time delivery.
I also specialize in automation and API testing, executing test scenarios from application documentation and identifying defects with root-cause analysis. I’ve partnered closely with stakeholders and cross-functional teams (Operations, Product, Technology) to define test requirements, environments, and deliverables.
As a leader, I manage, mentor, and develop QA professionals, establish quality metrics, and continuously improve test efficiency. I’m especially experienced with performance and load testing, including JMeter, and I stay current with industry trends to raise software quality.
