Position: Manual QA Engineer
Category: QA
English level: intermediate
Years of experience: 2

I have participated in all stages of development: constantly clarify requirements, propose improvements both for the features being developed and for processes. I have suggested including QA Engineer in the process of discussing and documenting features as a preventive method. 

I have initiated the beginning of the automation of regression testing and helped with the choice of a framework. I helped with the selection of the new plugin in Jira for managing test cases.

I have started API automation in Postman from scratch: I created collections for the features tested by me, documentation, and developed tests. I have proposed to include the tests in test stage in CI via Newman.

I have introduced a new format of bug reports: not to write the expected result, but to describe behavior that seems problematic to the QA Engineer, and explain WHY this may be a problem for someone.

After deploying the features on the prod there was a minimal amount, of bugs found by users every release, i.e. the quality of the product increased due to implementation shift-left testing.
Now I am testing a part of the SaaS internet-marketing & SEO-platform.
I have been the only QA Engineer for a team of 5 developers.
 
My duties include:
-	functional testing (smoke, critical pass, extended tests);
-	regression testing;
-	web, mobile (iOS) testing;
-	design of Postman tests;
-	back-office testing;
-	working with documentation (creation and maintenance, creating mind maps);
-	participating in all stages of development, assistance in building testing processes;
-	testing integrations with email marketing services (Active Campaign, HelpCrunch, Unisender);
-	working with application logs (logs investigating);
-	billing and ordering testing.
 
Tools:
-	Jira + Zephyr;
-	DevTools;
-	Kibana (simple queries);
-	Postman;
-	Charles Proxy;
-	Adminer (DB management tool);
-	LambdaTest (cross-browser testing);
-	Zeplin, Invisionapp (design and mockups);

I would like to try myself as a team leader, release manager or test analyst in the future.
