About

Quality is a process, not a checkpoint

QA Engineer with over 5 years of experience in software quality assurance, including hands-on work testing financial services and fintech platforms inside a large corporate telecom environment. I plan and run functional, integration, regression and exploratory testing, with solid experience in risk assessment, test documentation, and tracking defects through to root cause.

Comfortable in both Agile (Scrum/Kanban) and more structured delivery models.

Reviews requirements early to catch risks and ambiguities before development starts.

Coordinates closely with Business, Development and Project Management through every release.
