Hi, I'm Mike Anderson

Sr. QA Engineer

Senior Quality Assurance professional with over 10 years of experience testing in both manual and automated testing across web, mobile, and API platforms.

About Me

I’m a QA Engineer with over 10 years of experience, mostly in hands-on roles. I’ve worked across web, mobile, API, and backend systems focusing on functional and exploratory testing of user flows and supporting that work with automation.

What I enjoy most is being close to the product – writing tests, finding edge cases, and working with engineers to help drive quality. I especially enjoy being in the weeds with the team, digging through logs, data, and test runs to uncover issues and help drive them to resolution.
