As a dedicated Quality Assurance professional with over 10 years of experience, I specialize in ensuring the highest standards of quality for Mobile, Web, and API projects. Currently I hold the position of Lead QC Engineer, where I oversee quality control processes, manage a team of skilled QA engineers, and drive the implementation of best practices.

I focus on data-driven quality metrics to ensure that "Quality" is a measurable business value — not just a stage in a ticket's lifecycle.
