Professional summary

I am a QA Lead and Senior QA Engineer with more than 16 years of experience testing web and mobile products for international teams and complex client projects.

I specialize in manual testing, test strategy, test case design, defect management, and quality assurance across the full software development lifecycle. My experience includes functional, regression, integration, front-end, back-end, mobile, API, and accessibility testing.

I have worked in Agile and Scrum environments, collaborating closely with product owners, developers, project managers, and other stakeholders to ensure quality is built into planning, delivery, and release processes.

As a QA Lead, I have mentored QA engineers, established QA processes and standards, represented quality in sprint and release discussions, and supported continuous improvement across product teams.

I am experienced with tools including Jira, Xray, TestRail, Bamboo, Swagger, Selenium IDE, Watir, and Redmine. I also have working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, React, Drupal, CI/CD pipelines, and accessibility tools such as NVDA and JAWS.

I am passionate about delivering reliable, user-focused software, fostering collaboration, and helping teams develop practical and sustainable quality practices.
