QA Engineer focused on finding bugs before the users do. With a background in Frontend Development (React/TS), I bring a technical mindset to testing. I am comfortable performing thorough Manual Testing and creating stable Automation suites (Playwright). I am detail-oriented, eager to learn, and looking for a team where I can ensure quality from day one.
