A summary of my past is that I have been responsible to implement and/or improve QA processes. Managing people from different disciplines (UX, back- and frontend & operations).
Setting up test environments, agreements between disciplines and checking agreements are followed.
Being solely responsible for all manual and end-to-end automation tests (Katalon, Selenium Webdriver with Groovy) at Portico Consultancy.
Other things I have done include creating start documents for new testers and managing new testers to be up and running to have a full commitment to the project.
I worked as both manual and automation tester, doing code review, bug fixing, code adaption and creating automation tests on Selenium Webdriver node.js/protractor/mocha (in Webstorm) and Java.
I have proved I can adapt easily to other development languages when given the chance to work with them.
Looking to relocate to Kyiv. I don't speak Russian/Ukrainian yet.

I like improving QA processes with a hands on approach for both manual and automation testing. I like working in a team where people encourage each other to experience each others work. For example, with my coding background, I do like seeing what developers made and why they made it like that (i.e. code review). Besides that I like to be involved with the functional/business analysis of the product. Catch inconsistencies early in the project and understand what is expected. Communication between different parties is also important to me, to understand changes in requirements early and adopt them in the test plan and cases.
