Summary
I am constantly looking for new challenges to develop in the sphere of quality improvement. I am not limited only to the area of application testing, but also broadly understood processes or customer experience.
In addition, in the course of my career, I have focused a lot on creating teams not only QA from scratch, which has developed me a lot in the whole SDLC process.
I am currently working and developing in the following areas:
- Team and Project management
- Risk assessment
- Project estimation
- KPI/OKR setting and controlling
- Process and test automation
- Implementation of AI engines in the right places
