🧪 I help businesses find bugs before their customers do. I'm a Software Tester with hands-on experience in manual testing, API testing with Postman, and Playwright automation (JavaScript). I test web applications, APIs, and user workflows to ensure software is reliable and ready for release. **Skills:** * Manual Testing (Functional, Regression, Smoke & Exploratory) * API Testing with Postman (CRUD, Assertions, Response Validation) * Playwright Automation (JavaScript) * Test Cases & Test Scenarios * Bug Reporting & Defect Tracking (Jira) * Cross-Browser & Responsive Testing * UAT & Agile/Scrum I write clear, detailed bug reports with reproduction steps, expected vs. actual results, and supporting evidence to help developers fix issues faster. If you need a reliable QA tester who communicates well and pays attention to detail, I'd be happy to help.
