Carmella Joy S. Ventanilla - Software QA Engineer

About Me

Hello! I’m Carmella Joy S. Ventanilla, a QA and Technical Support professional with over 6 years of experience ensuring stable, reliable, and production-ready platforms. I specialize in manual testing, production support, and incident management for live systems.

I’ve worked hands-on with testing core platform and back-office features, validating integrations, and supporting releases in fast-paced environments. I collaborate closely with developers, product teams, stakeholders, and third-party providers to reproduce issues, verify fixes, and reduce production risks. To improve efficiency, I also integrate n8n automation into daily workflows for alerts, tracking, and reporting.

Beyond testing, I’m passionate about improving system reliability, streamlining QA processes, and maintaining clear documentation and communication. I believe quality assurance is not just about finding defects, but about protecting the user experience and ensuring confidence in every release.
