I worked in the fashion industry before transitioning into QA testing a few years ago to pursue my passion for problem-solving and technology. I started my QA career at a startup, which helped me refine my testing skills and deepen my understanding of the QA process in a fast-paced environment. This experience also inspired me to explore web development, pushing me to take on new challenges and expand my technical abilities.

This collaboration not only helps people better prepare for a secure retirement, but also empowers them through education. I believe my experience brings a unique perspective to the team, allowing me to contribute to the platform’s continuous improvement. As a QA tester, I’m excited to ensure the platform runs smoothly, securely, and accurately, supporting users in making confident, well-informed decisions for their future.

The most challenging and interesting aspect of my role is gaining a deep understanding of retirement income products and their complexities, especially as the platform evolves with constant product development. It’s a dynamic environment where new features need to integrate seamlessly while ensuring accuracy and security. Additionally, the role offers continuous learning, which keeps me engaged and helps me stay ahead of emerging challenges.
