RomaniaWhat I'm looking for
I am an enthusiastic ISTQB-certified QA engineer with nearly 9 years of experience in software testing across various domains, including automotive and web applications. My career has been marked by a commitment to delivering high-quality software products through rigorous testing processes, both manual and automated. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with developers and cross-functional teams to ensure that all software meets the highest standards of quality.
One of the highlights of my career was representing Continental in Torino, Italy, where I conducted acceptance testing for navigation functionalities. This experience not only enhanced my technical skills but also allowed me to develop strong communication abilities while working with diverse teams. I take pride in my ability to adapt quickly to new tools and methodologies, continuously seeking to improve testing processes and outcomes.
Currently, I am a Software Test Engineer at Viamedici Software Lab, where I lead testing efforts for the EPIM WEB application. My role involves creating test plans, developing automation test suites, and collaborating with various stakeholders to implement effective testing strategies. I am passionate about mentoring others and fostering a positive work environment, believing that respect and collaboration are key to overcoming challenges in any project.
