What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Junior QA role where I run structured manual test cases, write clear Jira bug reports, collaborate in Agile teams, and keep growing toward automation with Python.

I’m an entry-level Junior QA Tester focused on manual testing, test case design, and clear bug reporting. I also build a growing software foundation through Python and machine learning concepts.

In Agile/Scrum teams, I’ve designed and executed test cases, checklists, and basic test scenarios from requirements. I perform functional, regression, and smoke testing across releases, log and track bugs in Jira, and collaborate with developers to verify fixes.

I’m careful with documentation—working with test plans, test reports, and requirement analysis to ensure results match expected outcomes. I also support release cycles by validating builds and checking stability across environments.

Beyond pure UI testing, I’ve done basic API testing (Postman) and database checks using SQL queries. I’m excited to grow further, including Python-based test scripts (PyTest) at a basic level.
