Position: QA engineer
Category: QA
English level: intermediate
Years of experience: 1

I found my first job in IT a month after finishing the course, which is not so common if you are not a programmer or even an automation engineer. Having the education of an artist, I blended well into the team and did my job well. At the beginning of my work, I googled every other word in the translator, but later I didn't even always check if everything was written like that in the documentation because I was sure that yes, it was really a level up in my English compared to what it was.I will not stop at these mini-achievements, my path in IT has only recently begun, if you want me to do a feat for you, let me know and I will bring you the Hydra's head)

I can boast of the skills I acquired at my previous workplace, as I did not work on the easiest projects.

I started by testing the Task Management Tools website (it was the simplest project), I completely updated its documentation and checked all the nuances with the new requirements (even the name of the project was changed).

After some time, when the project became more or less independent, I joined a new one — it was a trading platform similar to FTMO where I directly interacted with the Rithmic Trader exchange. This project was already in release at the time when I joined it, and my task was quality control of new features and their interaction with all other components. It was very responsible.

In my free time, when no updates were added, I tested mobile applications, one of which was aimed at realtors and people looking for housing (for example Booking) where there were many functions and several roles (user/ real estate agent/ company) and different types of application interaction with the user’s mobile device (calls/ sending SMS messages and correspondence directly in the application)

Another mobile application related to trading contests where there were monetary awards, different types of assets that are traded, and the number of prize places that are adjusted by the administrator (separately on CRM), with the possibility of depositing and withdrawing monetary assets from the account. It was a convenient and stylish application where the user could follow his trading success and the success of competitors.

My last project was a web platform for creating and running trading bots on cryptocurrency exchanges, similar to Cryptohopper. It was the most difficult project, as it was necessary to study a lot of new information and all the nuances that were already developed at the time of testing (Strategies, Datasets, Backtesting, Paper trading, Live trading). A huge block of documentation, additional materials, and communication with developers helped me get used to this project, thanks to which the work was carried out qualitatively
I want to work with different people on different interesting projects, where we will communicate and hear each other. I think this is the most important thing at work
