Although I initially embarked on my career as an ICT teacher, I ultimately discovered a new and deeply fulfilling path as a Software QA Analyst/Test Engineer after dedicating 8 years to teaching in public schools. Since transitioning, I've honed my expertise primarily in manual functional testing for desktop and web applications across diverse industries such as automotive, body cameras, and e-commerce. Additionally, I've expanded my skill set to include front-end automation testing, leveraging frameworks like WebDriverIO, Playwright, and MockServer.In my role as a QA engineer, my primary focus lies in proactively preventing defects at the outset, rather than identifying them later in the development process. To achieve this, I actively collaborate with all team members, consistently emphasizing the importance of integrating QA practices as a collective responsibility throughout every stage of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
