What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and improve QA processes on e-commerce or digital products, combining hands-on testing, team mentoring, and measurable quality improvements.

At Scandiweb, I progressed from Junior QA to Senior QA/QA Lead, improving quality across e-commerce projects and reducing production issues by 30% on a major client project. I lead QA teams of up to five people and have mentored and onboarded more than 10 QA engineers.

For Limesharp, I defined test strategy, built Smoke, Regression, and SEO test suites, and introduced TestLodge, helping reduce post-release rework by 40%. I test web, mobile, API, CMS, CRM, and Salesforce Data Cloud integrations using structured manual testing and AI-assisted workflows.
