Re: QA Analyst

The Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the role of Quality Assurance Specialist at your company located in Canada as advertised on ca.linkedin.com. I am a Canadian Citizen, willing to work in-person and remotely. I am committed to trust, teamwork, and accountability in all professional engagements. I am passionate about adapting to new tools and technologies to enhance QA processes. I am a highly motivated and analytical professional with over 4 years of experience in software testing and quality assurance. I am eager to contribute to a high-performing team by executing test cases, documenting defects, and verifying fixes. I possess a keen eye for detail, excellent problem-solving skills, and a proven ability to work with minimal guidance. I am capable of working in fast-paced Agile environments and collaborating closely with developers, product managers, and other teams to ensure the delivery of high-quality software products. My recent experience was working as a QA Analyst in Achēv, Mississauga from April 2023 to June, 2024. I have worked closely in development and launch of their website HARTs application. I have actively participated in understanding the business, developing the test cases based on the requirements, planning, managing and executing the testing activities in different environments. As a QA Analyst, I have been involved actively in the pre- production activities as well as post-production activities of HARTs application. Lately, I learned and implemented the automation tool Load Ninja for Performance Testing and Test Complete for Regression testing. This position ended due to Organizational restructuring and business reasons. I would like to thank you for considering my application. I look forward to having a personal interview and can be contacted through email ****.*****.*@*****.***.
