I am a QA professional with extensive experience across mining, HR, scheduling, payroll, telecom, public security, and software applications. I excel at planning, testing strategy, and delivering reliable software with minimal supervision, and I have led QA teams, automated test suites, and collaborated with product owners to ensure quality from requirements to release. I thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy mentoring new team members while continuously optimizing testing processes to reduce cycle times. In my spare time I stay current with automation trends, explore new testing approaches, and seek opportunities to improve efficiency and product quality through data-driven metrics and robust automation pipelines.
