Maria D.
QA Manual/ Automation Engineer, AI Testing, Scraping, AI Data Labeler
I'm a results-driven QA professional with 8+ years of experience leading teams and optimizing testing processes. Currently, I'm transitioning into ML/AI Engineering and MLOps, combining my strong software quality background with hands-on expertise in Generative AI. What makes me different? AI‑powered QA: I integrated DeepSeek into real testing workflows. I use prompt engineering to auto‑generate test cases, edge scenarios, and user story analysis – reducing test design time by 30‑40%. Human‑in‑the‑loop validation: I don't just trust AI. I implement validation strategies to ensure relevance, completeness, and ethical coverage. Full‑stack testing skills: Automated testing (Playwright, Selenium, Appium, JMeter), manual testing, agile (Scrum/Kanban), Jira, SQL, Postman, Git. ML/AI readiness: I understand MLOps concepts, Docker basics, data quality, and how to test AI‑based systems (output validation, robustness, bias awareness).
