About

I am an ISTQB-certified Senior Test Analyst with 11 years of experience testing complex, multi-service web applications. I turn requirements into clear, practical test plans and ensure both manual and automated coverage are thorough, helping releases stay stable.

I’ve written and maintained automation test suites that speed up releases, improve defect discovery, and make it easier for development, product, and business teams to work together. I enjoy collaborating across cross-functional teams to troubleshoot, validate data, and deliver high-quality software.
