Sandra Kambo, Senior QA Engineer

Senior QA Engineer building reliable software through automation, systems thinking and real-world product experience.

I'm a Senior QA Engineer with 10+ years designing automation frameworks, testing APIs, and helping engineering teams ship reliable software with confidence.

I also run a boutique hospitality property, and I build and test the software behind it, a Playwright suite against a channel-manager integration, a booking bot, and the reservation and payment flows guests use every day. It's given me a rare vantage point on quality, where I'm not only testing systems, but I depend on them working.

Engineering Philosophy

The best quality engineers understand both the software and the people who rely on it. I focus less on test coverage as a number and more on reducing business risk and building confidence into every release, a discipline sharpened by maintaining automation for systems I personally operate.

What Shapes My Approach

Working closely with booking systems, payment flows and customer journeys has reinforced the importance of;

  • Resilient automation
  • Realistic end-to-end testing
  • Production-focused edge cases
  • API reliability
  • Customer-centric quality
  • Systems thinking
