Summary
I’m someone who genuinely enjoys solving problems, learning new tools, and adapting to whatever challenge comes my way. With hands-on experience in QA automation and backend testing, I’m comfortable jumping into fast-paced environments and contributing wherever I’m needed.
I love working with teams that share ideas, move fast, and care about quality—but I’m just as comfortable working independently and owning my tasks. I’m always looking for new challenges that help me grow both personally and professionally, and I bring a positive attitude, curiosity, and commitment to every project I’m part of.
