About Me

My name is Thao, and I am a Quality Assurance Engineer based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I hold a degree in English Linguistics and Literature from HCM Open University and a certificate in Python Website Development from HCM University of Science. My QA career commenced in May 2023 at Solwise, a start-up out-sourcing company, where I completed a three-month internship before transitioning to a full-time role.

My Programing Certificate

I started my career as a manual QA engineer. After six months, I transitioned into Automation testing through self-directed learning. In early 2024, I started taking a Python Website Development course at the University of Science and completed it in June. I was awarded a completion certificate with a 9.0 overall score for my capstone project.

This academic pursuit enhanced my programming, Python, SQL database management, query writing, logical, and analytical skills.

Automation Frameworks

Upon completing the Python foundation module, I developed an interest in automation frameworks, specifically Robot Framework and Karate Framework(the team's main framework). Given Karate Framework's Java foundation, I enrolled in the 'Karate DSL: API Automation and Performance course on Udemy to enhance my skills. I subsequently initiated personal API testing projects.

Concurrently, I was afforded the opportunity to apply my automation knowledge to a work project, where I was responsible for developing test scripts for the internal food menu mangement for a restaurant. Due to the simultaneous pursuit of learning and project work, I obtained the course completion certificate in July.

What I’m good at?

Logical Thinking

I focus on initial analyzing requirements, user stories and test objectives, breaking them down into testable components, and designing efficient test cases. My ability to translate these test cases into robust automation scripts.

Doing Research

I prioritize continuous learning through diligent research. I am adept at identifying and accessing pertinent documentation.

Colaboration
