My passion for quality assurance began in high school with programming classes. I was always curious about how to evaluate my programs once they were completed. Despite majoring in accounting, my fascination with programming persisted, particularly in designing programs to solve customer problems and testing their limits.This curiosity naturally led me to the field of Quality Assurance (QA). I immersed myself in understanding all aspects of QA, learning various methodologies, and developing expertise in functional, non-functional, mobile, API, and AI testing.My background in programming and testing has enabled me to advance my career in QA management. I have experience scaling and managing Testing Centers of Excellence (TCoE) and Centers of Excellence (CoE).
