• Collaborate closely with software developers, product definition analysts, architects, and operations teams to ensure product quality.

• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (grooming, sprint planning, reviews, retrospectives).

• Contribute to QA documentation: test reports, coverage metrics, defect logs, risk analyses.
