What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in a dynamic environment that values quality and innovation, where I can further develop my skills and contribute to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated Quality Assurance Engineer with over six years of experience in testing and development across backend, mobile, and web products. My journey has equipped me with extensive knowledge in fintech, banking, and investments, allowing me to deliver quality gates effectively. I take pride in my ability to develop test plans, design test cases, and execute various testing methods to ensure product excellence.

Currently, I serve as a Senior QA Engineer at Novasama Technologies in Berlin, where I lead the mobile QA department and develop automation tools using Python and GitActions. My previous roles have honed my skills in performance testing, load testing, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality features. I am committed to continuous improvement and have successfully implemented automation frameworks that have significantly reduced testing time.
