week sprints.
• Owned 50–70 manual and exploratory test cases; refactored a legacy suite (split, merge, de-duplicate) to improve coverage
and maintainability.
• Logged ~10–20 defects per two-week sprint, including release-blocking critical issues, and verified fixes through to
production.
• Authored internal how-to guides as first adopter of new tools; drove process improvements at retrospectives (mandatory fix
verification on dev, stand-up format) and proposed PO features, several adopted.
• Ran 5–7 junior-QA interviews, mentored 2–3 newcomers, and substituted QA Lead ~1–2 weeks every six months; performed
BDD reviews and ran end-of-sprint demos.
Technologies: Azure DevOps (TFS), SSMS, MongoDB.
