QA Engineer focused on users, not just test cases

I’m a QA engineer with a background in customer support, which gave me a strong sense for how bugs impact real users. I spend most of my time doing exploratory testing, working closely with developers, and building out automation with Playwright. I care about catching what actually matters, not just passing checklists.
