Oksana here! I am a Quality Assurance Engineer with 8 years of experience specializing in web testing for FinTech SaaS platforms. I focus on ensuring data integrity within microservice architectures (Pitch Book Data project), with a strong emphasis on API integrations and Kafka data streams. I enjoy bridging the gap between business requirements and technical execution by creating clear test documentation, including test cases, checklists, and test strategy. I thrive in collaborative teams and have a track record of identifying and addressing critical issues before release, optimizing user stories for QA, and streamlining processes with tooling like Jira, Confluence, and TestRail. I also explore AI-assisted workflows to speed up testing and maintain high-quality deliverables.
