ABOUT GEORGE M.
I am a Hybrid Test Engineer with over 10 years of experience delivering quality across complex, multi-system environments. I work at the intersection of manual and automation testing, Exploratory and Risk-Based QA, and product development, partnering closely with product and engineering teams to ensure quality is built in from the very start. My approach is grounded in a strong understanding of how testing decisions affect delivery speed, cost, and overall software quality, informed by both hands-on delivery and applied research into test automationThroughout my career, I have worked across Health, Fintech, Mobile, Finance, Education, Telecom, Retail, and Transport sectors, tackling end-to-end testing challenges in large-scale Digital Transformation projects.Key Skills & Tools:* Testing: Manual, Automation, Exploratory, & Risk-Based Testing* Technical: API, Contract & Integration Testing, Microservices & Micro Front-End architectures* Tools: Playwright automation with TypeScript, BDD/SpecFlow, Jira, Postman, BrowserStack, TFS* Methodologies: Agile, Scrum, Waterfall* Quality Practices: Test strategy, risk-based testing, defect triage, and release readiness* Domains: Financial Services, Fintech, Telecommunications, Transport, Retail, Health, Education, and MediaI have delivered high-quality products that have reduced critical release defects by 30% and contributed to zero critical post-launch defects on major programs such as Sky UK’s SkyGlass and Sky Stream.
