I have been working in software quality assurance for over 6 years, specializing in manual testing, API validation with Postman and SoapUI, and backend database verification using SQL and Oracle. I have successfully managed full defect lifecycles across diverse Linux, Windows, and cloud environments to ensure the stability of complex software deployments. I am currently looking for a remote QA role where I can apply my technical expertise and attention to detail. What sets me apart is my strong background in cross-functional collaboration and my hands-on experience handling everything from end-to-end test execution to software packaging validation.
