I started as a Developer but quickly redirected myself to Software Quality Assurance. With 15+ years in the testing area and 5+ years as Test Manager or Test Lead, I have had the opportunity to work across several business domains, such as Gaming, Bookmaking, Trading, Finance and Payments.\n\nI am familiar with Agile, SCRUM and other hybrid methodologies and I place substantial importance on clear communication and the team’s background reality. A shared diversity strengthens the team’s performance and long-term success, especially when working with virtual teams and extended use of TMS tools (JIRA, X-Ray, Confluence, Git, Jenkins, Node.js, Selenium, XCode, VS Code, etc.). My banking experience sparked an interest in financial products and services, including bonds, funds, CFD, crypto and other derivatives, which I believe can be expanded into higher financial services through Quantitative Finance empowered by AI tools.
