CANER / SENIOR QA ENGINEER
Look closer.
Think wider.
Senior QA Engineer / Test Automation Engineer working across UI, API and database boundaries, with experience in financial platforms and web applications.
From a finding
to a better decision.
My work starts with understanding the problem. I look at real user behavior, edge cases, regression risks and product reliability. When investigating issues, I separate confirmed evidence from assumptions and explain technical findings in language people can act on.
Why Towlar exists
Towlar brings this way of working into a broader setting. Consulting helps teams approach quality with more clarity. Product development gives ideas a concrete form. Collaboration opens a path for other developers and product owners to build alongside that work.
AI with a practical role
I use LLMs to analyze requirements, identify ambiguous business rules, develop edge cases and draft focused API/UI checklists and bug reports. I verify conclusions against source evidence and separate confirmed findings from untested assumptions.
