I'm a QA Engineer with hands-on experience delivering quality across web, API, and mobile applications. I design test strategies, write clear test cases, and collaborate with developers to optimize coverage and release quality. I also began learning Python to create small automated tests and expand our test automation capabilities. In my roles at HomeBuddy and Gazpromneft-CR, I organized QA sprint reviews, contributed to knowledge sharing, and mentored teammates. I enjoy turning complex requirements into practical tests, documenting decisions, and ensuring reliable, user-friendly software for real-world users.
