# My QA Portfolio
## ABOUT ME
👋 Hello there and welcome Misho's GitHub portfolio page!
🔍 I'm currently on a journey to become proficient in Quality Assurance (QA) and seeking opportunities in the field.
📚 This portfolio is a showcase of my projects, experiments, and learning resources as I explore the fascinating world of software quality assurance.
🌱 I'm passionate about ensuring the reliability, functionality, and usability of software products through testing, continuous improvement, and mastering new technologies.
💼 If you're looking for a dedicated and detail-oriented QA professional, feel free to explore my projects and reach out! I'm eager to contribute to innovative projects and collaborate with like-minded individuals.
## GETTING STARTED 🚀
The purpose of this portfolio page is to demonstrate knowledge in the field of software testing and quality assurance. I will be updating the contents over time as I learn new skills.
The idea is to have a portfolio repository where each branch is dedicated to a different topic (see [TABLE OF CONTENTS](#table-of-contents) below) that I am reasearching. While I realize that this is not the most conventional way to utilize branches, I believe it is a good method to manage the portfolio data for the time being and work on each topic separately.
Each branch of the repository will have its README.md file updated accordingly with relevent information about the technology, the reasearch that I have done and how to use the included code.
