Hi, I’m Marian — a Software Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience in software testing. I specialize in front-end, API, and database validation, and I thrive in Scrum environments where collaboration with cross-functional teams helps deliver high-quality software. I enjoy crafting clear test plans, sharing knowledge with teammates, and driving quality improvements across projects. Based in Calgary, I recently completed a Diploma in Business Administration from SAIT and I’m eager to contribute to a growth-minded team while continuing to expand my QA expertise and contribute to process improvements. I’m excited to apply my experience to new challenges and help organizations ship reliable software efficiently.
