## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to grow in a QA role where I can contribute manual and API testing skills, collaborate in Agile teams, and build practical automation and CI/CD experience.
```

## About

```text
I'm testing live fintech and automotive marketplace applications at The QA School, finding functional and usability defects across authentication, transactions, account management, registration, and booking flows.

I've designed and maintained 120+ test cases for core journeys, edge cases, and cross-functional flows. I run regression, smoke, and exploratory testing across web and mobile releases.

I validate REST APIs in Postman, including GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE methods, status codes, authentication tokens, and JSON payloads. I've also logged and prioritised 40+ defects in Jira while collaborating with developers through Agile sprint cycles.

My quality-control background gives me a disciplined, process-driven approach to defect prevention. I'm continuing to build my Playwright automation and CI/CD fundamentals while working effectively in remote, cross-functional teams.
