A Software QA Engineer specializing in delivering high-quality user experiences through comprehensive testing. I bridge manual precision with automation scalability — combining strategy, precision, and innovation to help teams ship reliable software faster.
I'm Shakur Daye, a QA Engineer with hands-on experience testing web and mobile applications across multiple industries. Most of my background is in manual QA, where I've performed functional, regression, UI/UX, and accessibility testing, primarily within the banking and healthcare domains.
Alongside manual testing, I've been actively building my automation and technical testing skills, using Selenium WebDriver with Python for test automation, Postman for API testing, and SQL for data validation and backend verification. I'm comfortable working across the full testing lifecycle — from test planning and execution to defect tracking and collaboration with cross-functional teams.
I've also earned my ISTQB Foundation Level certification, which strengthened my understanding of QA fundamentals, testing principles, and industry best practices. I bring a detail-oriented mindset, strong analytical thinking, and a commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality software.
