Louis Takow

I’m Louis Takow, a certified QA Engineer with over 7 years of hands-on experience in both manual and automated software testing. I specialize in helping businesses build reliable, secure, and high-performing digital products by identifying bugs early and ensuring smooth user experiences before release.

I’m ISTQB-certified and have worked with companies across Africa, Asia and the U.S., including KOLA Group, Sky Trade, AXIOM PRO, and Pro-Tech Alliance. From cutting-edge fintech platforms and secure e-commerce systems to healthcare solutions, e-learning platforms, blockchain innovations, fitness and food delivery apps, transportation systems, AI-powered applications, and robust enterprise tools, I’ve led QA efforts on over 50 projects—often increasing product reliability by over 40% and reducing defect rates by up to 60%.

I’m proficient with tools like Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium, Maestro, Postman, JMeter, ClickUp, and JIRA. I also design and manage CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions to automate testing and speed up deployments. Whether it’s functional testing, performance/load testing, API validation, or cross-device testing, I ensure every project meets the highest quality standards.

Beyond technical skills, I’m known for my attention to detail, strong communication, and collaborative mindset. I’ve worked with distributed Agile teams in Cameroon, Pakistan, Togo, the US, and beyond—aligning QA practices across time zones and cultures. My process is simple: I listen to your goals, study your product, and work with your developers to prevent issues before users ever see them.

My certifications include the ISTQB Foundation, CAPM in project management, and multiple QA specializations from Udemy, Coursera, and Test Automation University. I’m also an active member of global QA communities like ST4Africa, SkillsClub, and Arc.dev.

Whether you need a test automation expert to build a robust framework, a QA analyst to test your product manually, or someone to integrate quality into your DevOps pipeline—I’m here to help. I value clean code, clear communication, and delivering measurable improvements.

Let’s work together to ensure your software works flawlessly—on every device, every time.
