QA Engineer with hands-on experience in manual testing, API validation, and exposure to test automation, currently transitioning into Cloud Computing and Cybersecurity.
Previously worked as a sole QA engineer across Agile teams, contributing to end-to-end testing, defect management, and release quality. Experienced in tools such as Postman, JIRA, SQL, and JMeter, with a solid understanding of software delivery practices.
Recently completed hands-on labs in AWS and Azure, including setting up secure cloud environments using VPCs, subnets, IAM roles, and network security controls. After a planned career break, now fully focused on re-entering the workforce and seeking an entry-level QA, Cloud, or Cybersecurity role where I can contribute, continue learning, and grow within a team.
