I’m a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer with comprehensive T-shaped experience in international corporate-level companies. I'm passionate about Quality and focused on making the best possible product within existing resources.
My strength is testing, quality management, process optimization, team (and cross-team) collaboration, mentoring, etc. Also, I have experience as Team Leader of the product development team, Solution Engineer, DevSecOps, and L3 Client Support, because of which I better understand what exactly needs to be done, when, and with which priority.
