Hello, I'm Deserei, a software quality engineer with 5 years of experience in software testing, QA automation, and data validation. I enjoy turning complex requirements into clear test plans and delivering defect-free software through collaborative, process-driven approaches. I thrive in Agile environments and across cross-functional teams, consistently aligning testing with business expectations. I am comfortable with SQL, Oracle, Linux, JIRA, TFS, and QA tools (BrowserStack, Zephyr, TestRail, Postman) and have hands-on experience with ETL validation using Informatica and data comparisons between staging and target environments. I value clear communication, continuous learning, and timely sign-offs.
