In my former position as a manager of the service department (Toyota), we used the "retrospective" method - Kaizen, this is one of the ways to improve production processes, but it can be used in any industry.

Kaizen means "continuous improvement" and is based on the philosophy that you can never be satisfied with the current state of affairs, you can always find a way to improve.

On my initiative, we implemented a new function in the special application of our service for receiving cars. My improvement consisted in converting the document flow into electronic form, which will reduce the time for preparing documents and make an automatic transfer of data to another system.
Due to the fact that I do not have commercial work experience, I can focus on educational projects and related tasks.
During my studies, I worked with various tools that helped me perform testing effectively. I used Jira to manage the project and use the Scrum framework, which allowed me to organize work tasks and track work progress. I also used Confluence to get project details and requirements.

To test the Rest API, I used Postman and was introduced to Soap UI. I have used these tools to run various test scenarios and debug issues.

Also, I used MySQL to test the databases. I have a good understanding of database structure and querying skills, which have helped me perform testing effectively.

During my work, I focused on detailed testing and finding errors and bugs. My test scripts meet all the requirements and I didn't miss any bugs in the software. 
I was responsible, disciplined, and always ready to complete tasks on time.

I liked tasks related to relational databases and working with APIs the most. In my opinion, such tasks were more difficult to perform, but at the same time the most interesting.
