Summary

I look back onto two decades of experience managing testing processes in large, international projects across media, finance and toll sectors. I focus on building robust test strategies and frameworks, coordinating teams and ensuring smooth integration of complex systems. I have expertise in test planning and execution, defect tracking and automation using tools like Jira, Confluence and Jenkins/GitLab CI/CD.

I continuously work with modern technologies such as microservices, Kubernetes, AWS and Kafka to deliver quality solutions. I also bring strong skills in agile methodologies, business analysis and bridging communication gaps between technical teams, business and project management.
