## About

```text
I'm a Senior Test Engineer at TietoEVRY, where I've worked since 2020 to support software quality.

Before TietoEVRY, I spent nearly four years as a Software Tester at Accenture and also tested software at ABC software and Visma Latvia.

At Visma Latvia, I performed functional testing, wrote testing documentation and reports, created and executed automated test scripts, managed test environments, and conducted stress testing.

My background also includes business requirement analysis, quality assurance, SQL and database work, Selenium WebDriver, and technical support for infrastructure, workstations, security auditing, and helpdesk operations.
