I am proud of making the right decisions, that actually defined my career path. The first one is when I chose the concentration - IT Management at university, this step gave me chance to learn every important subject for the IT sphere and refined my vision about the business world. The second important decision was when I took participation in the exchange program WAT USA and worked in the admissions team in Cedar Point for 3 months.  On the one hand, this experience showed me the importance of B2C, and on the other hand, refined my soft skills like communication, teamwork, decision-making, etc.  These decisions were followed by other important steps that actually created my journey in the IT field.
I am a Business Administration/IT Management undergraduate student at Free University of Tbilisi. My first IT role was as Quality Assurance Manager in the Agile team at GPI Holding which occupies one of the leading positions in the insurance market of Georgia. My team used to work on CRM products that provide software tailored to the sales team. My main role was manual testing (finding bugs and report them to the dev team, ensure that software meets requirements), as well as active participation in Grooming and Planning and leading the Sprint Review as well - showcase the work done during the sprint and inspect the roadmap of the product.
 After 10 months of the very interesting working process, I decided that I needed more challenges to overcome and perfect myself in the product development path. So I took my next step and became Assistant IT Project Manager at APP3null GmbH. This company operates in the app development market in Europe.
 I was responsible for delivering the project on time, within the scope and the budget. My activities included but were not limited to: communicate with clients and stakeholders, take participation in defining the project scope, gather requirements, set up the team, define and describe the main specifications of the product, create a full backlog, manage meetings and relevant documents. My team successfully released the educational application under my leadership. The app’s purpose is to prepare law students for exams, it consists of explanations and different types of quizzes. 
Above mentioned experiences played a very important role to refine my vision in the product development field, showed my strengths and skills that helped me to find my passion in IT management. I am obsessed with being part of a team that creates amazing products which solve end users’ problems and generate preferences for them. I am looking for the opportunity to join out of the box thinking team, lead and manage processes to deliver great projects.
