Written Reports : Produce structured reports and summaries that combine narrative, visuals, and metrics to tell a complete story about product quality, test outcomes, and production health.
Root Cause Support : Assist QA and dev teams with root cause investigations using log data, traces, metrics, and real‑world usage patterns.
Cross‑Team Collaboration : Partner with QA, Engineering, Product, and Data teams to align on what signals matter and how they’re consumed across tools and stakeholders.
