> my Software QA Engineer background + no CS degree implies I have no technical skill

It's OK to leave stuff out on your resume if it's not relevant (and maybe even harmful) to the position you're applying for.

My Software QA Engineer position is my first, and only job post-undergrad.

Maybe you could rephrase it. For example, give it a title "software engineer", and then a subtitle or one short paragraph explaining: "the position was officially called qa whatever and involved developing software for this and that", and then list the accomplishments.
