What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Software Quality Assurance Engineer with over five years of experience in both automated and manual testing, specializing in CI/CD processes and scalable ERP/web applications. My journey in software quality assurance has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my ISTQB certification and proven expertise in creating and implementing QA policies. I have successfully designed and executed test plans that have significantly improved software reliability and performance, contributing to enhanced user experiences and operational efficiency.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with cross-functional teams in Agile environments, leveraging tools such as Cypress, Selenium, and JIRA to ensure high-quality software delivery. My role at MLGRD involved designing automated test cases for the UDEMA Taxman application, which resulted in a 30% increase in municipal revenue. I take pride in mentoring junior QA engineers, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing within my teams. My technical skills, combined with my passion for problem-solving and debugging, enable me to deliver robust software solutions that meet and exceed client expectations.
