What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values quality and innovation.

With over a decade of experience in the IT industry, I have honed my skills as a quality engineer, specializing in software testing. My journey began at "Politehnica" University of Timişoara, where I earned my degree in Computer Science. Since then, I have worked with various methodologies, including Agile and Waterfall, allowing me to adapt to different project needs and collaborate effectively with development teams.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to numerous projects, including web-based applications for renowned companies like Bosch and EPIQ. My responsibilities have ranged from creating test plans and performing manual testing to automating tests using tools like Selenium and Postman. I take pride in ensuring that the software I test meets the highest quality standards, ultimately delivering exceptional user experiences.

I am passionate about continuous improvement and actively seek opportunities to enhance the quality of applications. My experience in defect tracking, writing bug reports, and preparing suggestion documents has equipped me with the skills necessary to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. I am eager to bring my expertise to a dynamic team where I can contribute to delivering top-notch software solutions.
