About

Quality Assurance Engineer with strong experience in delivering reliable and high-performance products. Skilled in both manual and automated testing, with hands-on expertise in Python-based automation platforms and process optimization. Holding an Integrated Master’s in Mechanical Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and ISTQB® certification, I combine strong technical knowledge with a collaborative mindset to ensure product excellence in critical systems. I work on digital banking platforms built around a Banking as a System model, where banking is delivered through modular services, APIs, and integrated ecosystems rather than standalone products. My focus is on ensuring end-to-end quality across key customer journeys such as onboarding, payments, cards, lending, and account management, validating both functional behavior and system integrations across core banking systems, APIs, and digital channels. Highly motivated and self-driven, I am committed to continuous learning and professional growth.
