About
I’m a Senior Software QA Tester with 12+ years of experience focused on manual testing for mobile and web applications, especially iOS and Android release testing on a monthly cadence. I’ve worked in Agile teams across agritech, CRM, and mobile gaming, owning functional, regression, smoke, exploratory, end-to-end, and compatibility testing while also validating APIs with Postman and analyzing network traffic with Charles Proxy.
I enjoy building strong test coverage through risk-based test planning and maintaining detailed test cases, scenarios, and data in tools like TestRail and Jira. I also like mentoring newer QA engineers, collaborating closely with developers and product teams on acceptance criteria and release readiness, and continuously improving my workflow—currently learning test automation with Playwright and TypeScript with Claude as an AI coding and learning assistant.

Managed the full defect lifecycle in Jira (reporting, reproduction, triage support, retesting and closure) with developers. Performed compatibility testing across iOS and Android device/OS matrix using Xcode and log analysis. Supported monthly release sign-off and maintained high release quality. Also tested Sugar CRM during the first three months of the engagement before moving fully to the agritech account.
