Philosophy

Quality Mindset

Testing is not just finding bugs
it's understanding risk, advocating for users, and building confidence in what we ship.

Professional Journey

2015–2017Gaming 🎮

First Bug Filed

Game and media QA at Testronic and Lionbridge. Learned structured testing, precise bug reporting, and release-pressure discipline.

🎲

Fun Fact

Beyond games, I tested interactive Blu-ray discs. I quickly learned that even an innocent menu navigation flaw could trigger critical bugs freezing the entire console.

2017–2018Insurance 🏦

First Software House

Black-box testing at Altkom in a proper enterprise environment. PL/SQL, complex test scenarios, and first contact with regulated software delivery.

🎲

Fun Fact

My journey began with a rigorous two-week internal training camp at Altkom. Getting those solid foundations in SQL and test design prepared me well before touching enterprise production environments.

2018Banking 🏛️

Automation Unlocked

Joined Clear2Pay. First real automation: Java, Selenium, Cucumber, TDD/BDD on financial systems.

🎲

Fun Fact

Our QA team actually coded more here than the developers. While they mostly configured older XML layers, we built complete, automated Java test frameworks from scratch.

2019Certification 📜

Certified Scrum Master

CSM certified by ScrumAlliance. Took on Scrum Master role alongside automation — 15% team efficiency gain and global training sessions.

🎲

Fun Fact

Shortly after certifying, I managed QA across a massive LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum) ecosystem. It was an excellent lesson in correctly scaling quality assurance across interconnected teams.

2020Certification 📜

ISTQB Foundation

Pursued ISTQB Foundation Level to formalize testing methodology knowledge.

🎲

Fun Fact

The exam mainly tested precision. Having deep process knowledge forged in years of real-world practices, the certification simply provided me with the proper, cohesive industry-standard vocabulary.

2021Public Sector 🏢

Full QA Ownership

At Nexio, owned the full test cycle for public sector apps — planning, regression, UAT, and stakeholder demos.

🎲

Fun Fact

Decision-maker turnover in the public sector was so frequent that taking vacation just twice a year meant double-checking the latest org charts to see who could even approve it.

2025Fintech 💸

First QA. Zero to Ecosystem.

Mobilum Pay's first dedicated QA. Built everything from scratch: strategy, Appium & Detox, BrowserStack, GitHub Actions CI/CD.

🎲

Fun Fact

Startup velocity: complete redesigns quarterly, pushing complex solutions immediately, and clearing massive roadblocks within 7 days. An environment that forces supreme strategic testing agility.

Risk-Based Testing

“Focus where it matters most”

Prioritize based on business impact, user workflows, and technical complexity. Not all bugs are equal.

Automation as a Tool

“Automate to accelerate, not replace thinking”

The best automation supports exploratory testing and rapid feedback loops. Tools serve strategy.

Quality Ownership

“Build quality in, don't inspect it in”

Quality is everyone's responsibility, but testers lead the charge. Shift left, think right.

Collaborative Mindset

“Break down silos, build up quality”

Work embedded with developers, product, and stakeholders. Quality culture beats quality control.
