I am an experienced manual QA Engineer with over 10 years experience in the field. I  enjoy helping companies to test their products to make them stable and ready for release. 

Senior QA Engineer, ON 09/2021 - 11/2022 (1 year 3 months)
ON (madebyon.com) · September 2021 - November 2022
I was the Senior QA Engineer who was asked to establish the QA department from the ground
up. Subsequently, I became the QA line manager where I managed a team of five. My role
included allocating tasks to the projects that required QA, and managing the team on a daily
basis.
I contributed to testing websites for clients that the company created using various testing
techniques.
My primary project was working on a mobile app for a large clothing rental company where I
served as the main QA Engineer. This involved testing the app on IOS/Android, liaising with the
development team regarding any identified issues/problems, and informing the company that
the app was ready to be submitted to Apple and Google for release on their respective app
stores.
TestRail was used to write the test cases for the projects and BrowerStack was used for testing
mobile devices.

QA Engineer, Amelco 06/2019 - 09/2020 (1 year 4 months)
Amelco create electronic sportsbooks for clients. The sportsbooks allow people to place bets
on available sporting events.
My role as QA Engineer was to test the sportsbooks to make sure that they are fully functional
and ready to go live into production. This was achieved by running a full regression test to
make sure they were ready to go live.
The sportsbooks were tested on desktop and mobile devices. The mobile testing was done
using BrowerStack.
All testing was done manually and any issues found were logged using Jira. When an issue was
fixed by the developer the issue was ready for testing.

QA Engineer, Becrypt 04/2008 - 11/2017 (9 years 8 months)
Becrypt write a series of cyber security products ranging from disk encryption to secure Linux
desktops.
As a QA Engineer I performed the following duties:
Wrote test plans and test scripts for projects and reported any issues found using Jira.
Investigated any issue that had been raised by clients and reporting the status back to the
Help desk.
Responsible for testing the company's products.
I was team leader on the company's main project. As team leader I kept the project manager
and project owner up to date with the status of the testing and also with the estimation of
when the product was ready for release.
