Position: Manual QA Engineer
Category: QA
English level: intermediate
Years of experience: 5

The first education is a master's degree in Accounting and Audit.
IT area: 1) online QA courses (got the theory basics in testing), 2) the course "Programming Using Python" from BrainBasket Foundation - this knowledge helps to understand general processes on projects, communicate with developers, read logs, and get needed info from DB.
Almost all projects had specifics that made automation testing too arduous and expensive but were interesting and tricky enough for manual testing.
Current work (almost 2 years) is with web apps: #1 is for insurance companies, #2 is for school head-hunters (both for the USA customers) + a short-term web project (a CRM for risk estimations).
Before that (almost 4 years) was working with an app for people with dyslexia (desktop+GoodleChrome) + short terms projects for mobile (e-commerce, visit cards).
In both companies, the main tools were Jira/Confluence, Postman, and DBeaver SQL. Additionally, YouTrack and Testpad were in use.
Before switching to the IT area, there were 18 years in the finance area - various positions from the accountant to the chief of the finance department, including 3,5 years of implementation, manual testing, and maintenance of the Accounting Application.
My main interest is in education, linguistics, and healthcare. Nevertheless, I'm open to different areas.
