Issam Al Karkouri

QA Engineer @ Sterigenics

Bruxelles, Belgique

ISTQB-certified QA Engineer with 4+ years of experience in manual testing, exploratory testing, and API validation. My background as a front-end developer (JS, React, Laravel, MySQL) gives me a strong technical edge in QA. I’ve worked in Agile teams across healthcare, retail, insurance, and energy, focusing on functional testing, requirements analysis, and cross-team collaboration. Currently transitioning into test automation, with hands-on experience in JavaScript, Playwright, API testing (Postman/SuperTest), and CI/CD (GitHub Actions). I’m also building personal projects to grow my automation skills.
