@victoralba1
Detail-oriented QA analyst with cybersecurity-informed testing skills.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I'm a detail-oriented QA analyst who brings structured investigation, reproducible defect reporting, and evidence-based test practices from cybersecurity and SOC-style lab work into QA. I design and execute manual test cases, perform regression and exploratory testing, and produce audit-ready documentation that supports clear remediation priorities.
My background includes log-level thinking across Windows and Linux, Python scripting for test data generation and log parsing, and hands-on experience with SQL for validation queries. I have delivered structured QA reviews, built detection pipelines (Splunk + Python), and translated incident triage workflows into rigorous bug lifecycle management.
I apply operational rigor from hospitality leadership and program management—clear SOPs, stakeholder communication, and calm execution under pressure—to every test plan, bug report, and handoff, ensuring traceable evidence, prioritized remediation recommendations, and measurable quality improvements.
