About

I am a Software Test Engineer with 3+ years of hands‑on experience testing SaaS platforms across web, mobile, kiosk systems, and browser extensions, backed by nearly 12 years of earlier industry experience in office and operations roles.

I take end‑to‑end ownership of QA: from test planning and test case design to regression execution, defect analysis, and release validation.

Recently, I have focused on complex products such as workforce management platforms, inspection and compliance systems, gamified lead‑generation tools, and AI‑powered browser extensions.

I am actively transitioning into test automation using Playwright (JavaScript/TypeScript) and integrating automated checks into CI/CD pipelines while retaining strong exploratory testing skills for edge‑case discovery.
