What I'm looking for

I am seeking a QA role focused on mobile/web apps, API testing and release leadership, in collaborative Agile teams that value strong test strategy, end-to-end quality ownership, and opportunities to improve quality and release processes.

I also have experience and aspiration for PM roles to properly manage projects and development teams.

I am a Software Quality Engineer with hands-on experience leading mobile QA and automation for high-volume native iOS and Android applications. I have improved regression cycle times by over 50%, increased automated coverage by 35%, and reduced geo-service defects by 27% through focused test strategies, automation with Kotlin/Appium, and cross-functional collaboration.

I bring strong API and backend testing skills using Postman, device and network diagnostics, and standardized QA documentation that reduced onboarding time by 25%. I hold a BSc in Software Engineering, ISTQB Foundation certification, and practical experience across marketplaces, geo services, and diverse industry contract work.
