I am Andreea Cristina Horhocea, a QA Engineer with 5+ years of experience in manual testing across Web, API, Back Office, and Payments systems. I excel at functional, regression, exploratory, smoke, and API testing using Postman and SQL validation. I have hands-on experience with Selenium WebDriver using C#, and I'm actively expanding automation skills toward QA Automation roles. I thrive in Agile/Scrum environments with release ownership, deployment validation, and cross-team collaboration. I also leverage GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT to assist with SQL queries, debugging, and test design improvements. I'm open to remote opportunities as a QA Engineer or Junior QA Automation Engineer.
