Highlights

1. Across different projects::
- Identified 60+ critical bugs, helping prevent costly production issues and reducing business risks;
- Covered 100% of core features with test cases;
- Created a regression checklist covering MVP functionality;
- Consistently suggested improvements to enhance product quality;
- Collaborated within Agile teams to prioritize testing efforts and meet tight release deadlines;
- Improved QA–dev communication through clear and structured documentation;
- Built QA processes from scratch for projects with no prior testing setup. Helping companies release better software;

2. I have obtained 34 relevant certifications to validate my skills, including HTML, CSS, JS, HTTP, SQL, 5 English language certificates, and 2 soft skills certificates that directly supported my work in real testing projects and continue to be valuable for future projects as well.

3. I have read more than 100 books in English (mostly B1-B2 levels, excellent adaptations).
Listening first and then reading the same book significantly improved my listening comprehension, vocabulary, and ability to understand context. This helps me confidently work with English documentation, technical discussions, and international teams.

4. I have a startup (I sell digital product on international marketplaces).
Working in a startup helped me develop product thinking — I analyze not only bugs, but also business logic, risks, and user impact.
