PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY

QA Engineer with over 7 years experience in IT (development, testing, support for web and mobile solutions)
and a thorough understanding of the SDLC / STLC. I have practical experience in conducting manual testing
(functional, regression, API, database, cross-browser, responsive), developing test documentation (test
cases, bug reports, test plans) and working closely with development teams in an Agile/Scrum environment.
Thanks to my strong technical background, I am able to effectively pinpoint complex defects at the API,
database (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and network request levels. I actively use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude,
Perplexity) to speed up requirements analysis, generate checklists, prepare test data and optimise day-to-
day QA tasks.

Postman/Swagger and verifying end-to-end flows for payment gateways, delivery services, and CRM
integrations.
Database & Data Integrity Auditing: Proficient in executing complex SQL queries (MySQL,
PostgreSQL) to verify backend state transitions, data persistence, and database-level validation rules.
Structured Test Documentation & Management: Proven track record in designing comprehensive test
plans, execution checklists, edge-case test suites, and maintaining high test coverage.
AI-Powered QA Efficiency: Active practitioner of ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity for rapid test-
scenario discovery, edge-case generation, mock data preparation, and documentation speed-up.
