What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation, emphasizes quality, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Software Quality Assurance Engineer with extensive experience in mobile and API testing, web testing, and automation testing. My journey began at Makerere University, where I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Public Health, which laid the foundation for my analytical skills and attention to detail. Over the years, I have honed my expertise in various testing methodologies, ensuring software reliability and user satisfaction.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer at Numida, where I established a product support function to assist clients in troubleshooting app issues. My role involves conducting functional, regression, and performance testing, as well as collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance software quality. Previously, I led a QA team at SafeBoda, where I developed test strategies and introduced process improvements that significantly boosted efficiency.

My commitment to quality is reflected in my certifications in automation testing and my ability to implement automated testing frameworks. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to contribute to innovative projects that prioritize user experience and software excellence.
