What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can lead QA and testing efforts, collaborate cross-functionally, integrate ML-driven quality improvements, and contribute to product strategy in a growth-focused, innovation-driven environment.

I am a multidisciplinary QA engineer with hands-on experience in manual and automated testing, AI/ML model validation, and digital product development, currently pursuing an MA in Innovation and Technology Management to drive technology-focused process improvement and product quality. I have improved release cycles and testing traceability through structured documentation, defect tracking in Jira, and cross-functional collaboration using Asana.

I have contributed to ML model optimization and integration, led QA planning for research projects, and delivered business-analysis insights and KPI dashboards that support data-driven decisions. I am passionate about transforming innovative ideas into scalable solutions that create measurable impact and work effectively across developers, researchers, and stakeholders.
