About

I’m a QA Engineer with 4+ years of experience in both manual and automation testing. At VITEC, I helped reduce critical customer escalations by 60% through proactive issue identification, early-stage testing, and streamlined test execution. I specialize in testing web-platforms, APIs using Java, Selenium, and Azure DevOps. I collaborate closely with frontend teams to shift testing left and improve product quality early in the cycle. My approach is grounded in strong analytical skills and a full-stack perspective on QA, backed by a degree in computational methods and a certification in AI-powered automation. I’m passionate about working in high-performance teams and continuously improving quality processes. Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a hands-on, collaborative, and impact-driven QA professional.
