Handled QA on a very difficult, intricate project on my own. I was given a project that had 0 documentation for QA, so it was basically ad-hoc, and it was technically challenging, and I've successfully managed to learn and adapt to it in just one month completely on my own. It was a music store project that had millions of products, various ways of importing those products, various warehouses, a database, and numerous dependancies within the system of one thing on another.

I am looking for a manual QA job. I am eager to work in a result-focused, teamwork-oriented team. I am keen on learning, so I keep an open minded attitude towards possible projects, so I am both interested in just web testing and mobile testing, API and possibly basic Automation (Java) opportunities!
My main focus is to find a job that has a team that's eager to achieve results. I would absolutely love to work in an environment where QA initiative (things like improvements suggestions etc) is valued, and where I can actually work on helping improving the products, besides just testing bugs!
