I build user-focused products through QA, Agile delivery, and data-driven customer insights.
What I'm looking for
I'm transitioning into product management with hands-on experience connecting technical requirements, user needs, and cross-functional delivery. I'm completing the University of Maryland edX Professional Certificate in Product Management.
At Takaful Ikhlas, I analyzed requirements and user stories, performed functional, automated, compatibility, UAT, and end-to-end testing, and supported two major web application releases within Agile teams. As a freelance QA tester, I tested mobile games, streaming applications, and online exam portals using Java, TestNG, and Selenium WebDriver.
At Forespar, I coordinated B2B and B2C marketing campaigns, landing pages, trade show logistics, pricing, and promotional materials while maintaining a $0.24 CPC. I bring customer-facing operations, technical support, stakeholder coordination, and usability-focused testing to building practical product solutions.
