About

Professional summary

I am a Quality Assurance Test Engineer based in Glasgow, Scotland, with experience testing cloud infrastructure, software functionality, APIs, databases, and deployment processes.

I combine manual exploratory testing with automated testing to identify defects, investigate unexpected behaviour, and improve release confidence in agile delivery environments.

I have practical experience with AWS, REST APIs, SQL validation, Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, Ruby, Python, Postman, Terraform, and Unix command-line tooling.

In my current infrastructure testing work, I have helped reduce functional bugs, streamline operational acceptance testing, validate complex data-sync systems, and support successful major releases with a low rollback rate.

I am experienced in test planning, test case design, regression testing, smoke testing, functional and non-functional testing, and stakeholder communication across the software development lifecycle.

I also enjoy supporting other QA engineers through onboarding and training, and I hold AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner and ISTQB certifications.
