Ruth Echo G.

Senior QA Engineer | Turning Chaos into Confident Deployments

I turn chaotic release cycles into confident deployments.

With 7+ years of experience in Agile software testing (including 4+ years remote with global teams), I bridge the gap between development speed and production stability from SaaS platforms to mobile applications (lifestyle, dating, fleet management) and web systems across banking, travel, and environmental management sectors.

Proven results: 30% improved test coverage • 99.9% on-time releases • Up to 40% fewer post-production defects

About Me

From Chaos to Clarity

I've seen what happens when QA is treated as an afterthought: unclear requirements, untracked bugs, and unpredictable releases. My approach focuses on turning that chaos into clarity: building structure, visibility, and measurable quality into every sprint.

With 7+ years of experience in software quality assurance, I've tested web and mobile applications across various domains; covering manual testing, test design, regression, and defect management. Currently, I'm expanding my automation skills with Playwright, Maestro, and k6, bringing scalability and efficiency to small, fast-moving teams.

How I Add Value

In My Full-Time Role

I orchestrate Release Integration Testing (RIT) cycles and collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify root causes and optimize delivery pipelines. I focus on risk management and helping teams migrate from legacy tools to modern automation frameworks like Playwright.

For Startups and Small Teams

I collaborate with founders who don't yet have dedicated QA. I help define testing workflows from the ground up, write effective test cases, and establish reporting structures that drive better release decisions. My focus is on building your QA foundation so you can scale with confidence.
