Kim Paul L.

I am a QA & Automation Engineer with 5 years of hands-on experience at GFI Software, working on enterprise-grade on-prem and cloud products used in real production environments. My work focuses on validating complex systems such as email servers, network security appliances, archiving platforms, and cloud-based management solutions, ensuring stability, security, and reliable releases. In addition to testing, I regularly design and set up my own test environments to mirror real customer deployments. This includes configuring Windows and Linux servers, domain services, mail flow, security policies, and multi-component integrations to accurately reproduce production scenarios and edge cases. Products I have tested include: Kerio Connect (email & collaboration server) Kerio Control (network firewall & UTM) GFI MailEssentials (email security & anti-spam) GFI Archiver (email archiving & compliance) Exinda (network performance & traffic shaping) GFI FaxMaker (fax & document delivery) GFI AppManager (cloud-based management & monitoring) What I typically handle: 1. Manual test case creation and execution 2. Automation and regression testing 3. End-to-end testing across multiple integrated components 4. SMTP, mail flow, and security policy validation 5. Testing across Windows Server, Linux, and hybrid setups 6. Clear bug reproduction with structured, actionable defect reports I work closely with developers and product teams to identify issues early, reduce regressions, and improve overall product quality. I’m comfortable testing infrastructure-level software, not just UI-based applications. If you’re looking for a QA engineer who can both build realistic test environments and validate complex enterprise systems, I can contribute effectively.
