I have practical experience gained during Manual QA training courses: creating test cases,
working with Jira and TestCaseLab, testing web interfaces and APIs via Postman. I am
developing skills in bug detection and reporting, requirements analysis.

Currently, I work as a Middle SEO Specialist, where my technical background helps me handle
complex tasks. Before SEO, I studied programming and web development (JavaScript, HTML,
CSS), which allows me to better understand code structure, identify layout issues, and
communicate effectively with developers. I also have experience fixing minor technical
inaccuracies in web interfaces.

I enjoy learning new things and constantly strive to improve my skills. My goal is to obtain a
Manual QA Engineer position, achieve a high level in manual testing, and gradually grow
toward test automation. My English level is intermediate: I understand spoken language well and
continuously improve my proficiency.
