As an ISTQB certified Software Test Engineer, I am constantly seeking opportunities to improve my skills in this field. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects that have given me experience in teamwork, Agile methodologies, and SDLC. In my previous role (Bluedot), I led a manual test team as an outsourced employee. In addition to this, I had experience training interns and assisting my manager in creating a Test Plan and Test Environment. Recently, I have been working as a Software QA Test Engineer for an Irish company (Square1). I have knowledge of API tests (Postman) and I have been learning how to automate test cases for Android applications. I am excited to bring my skills and experience to your company as a Software Test Engineer and provide a fresh perspective. Thank you for your consideration.
