Summary
I’m a QA Engineer (Manual & Automation basics) with a strong analytical and process-oriented mindset. I have
experience testing mobile and web applications, creating structured test documentation, and improving QA
workflows in Agile/Scrum teams. My previous background in logistics and business operations developed my
attention to detail, problem-solving, and organizational skills — qualities that I now apply to software testing. I
bring value by writing clear test documentation, detecting critical defects early, and collaborating effectively with
developers and product managers.
