Career Journey
I started my journey at GBF as a QA Engineer, focusing on manual testing for web and mobile platforms. Over time, I expanded into automation and eventually began supporting infrastructure as an AWS specialist. The transition came naturally thanks to the encouragement and support from both management and my peers. Today, I handle QA strategies and cloud deployments for enterprise applications.
Key Achievements
- Introduced automated testing frameworks that cut regression testing time by over 50%
- Earned multiple AWS certifications, including Solutions Architect and DevOps Engineer
- Played a critical role in migrating legacy systems to scalable AWS infrastructure
- Provided internal training sessions on QA best practices and cloud security
Challenges & Solutions
Learning to balance QA responsibilities with cloud infrastructure work was a challenge at first, especially in high-pressure project phases. But by setting clear priorities and working closely with teammates, I found a rhythm that works.
Growth & Development
GBF has created an environment where learning is embedded in the culture. I’ve had the chance to wear multiple hats, grow technically, and build confidence in presenting ideas, mentoring others, and making architectural decisions.
Advice for Others
Stay curious and be open to wearing different hats. The more you expose yourself to other domains, the more valuable you become — both to your team and to your own career.
