PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

QA Engineer with 3+ years of commercial experience, including a full-stack development background
that gives me a deep understanding of the entire data flow and debugging, such as reading logs, using
Postman, SQL, Charles Proxy, Redis, etc. Excellent analytical skills and the ability to quickly understand
how the product works to take ownership of quality end-to-end and build the QA process, not just find
bugs. Strong understanding of software testing principles and SDLC/STLC processes. Claude Code and
Codex are part of the daily workflow, not an experiment. Actively using AI tools in testing processes (e.g.,
generating test cases and checklists, analyzing requirements and logs). Experience working in Agile
environments using both Scrum and Kanban methodologies, adept at working remotely with
cross-functional teams.
