Testing As A Way To Communicate
I am a rare case of a Software Developer who decided to become a tester. I decided to take this path after being introduced to the agile process when I was still working as a Developer. After some time, I realized that I am more interested in supporting the agile process itself rather than developing or solving more specific tasks, and the testing came to me naturally as a new direction. Testing for me is about evaluating a product by learning, exploring, discovering, investigating, and observing. My approach is to encourage critical and skeptical thinking about products with a focus on presenting discoveries through detailed test reports.
I am aiming and dedicated to advancing my career in the field of software testing, a domain where I have actively been expanding my knowledge and skills over the past few years.
I have started my journey into the software world as a developer, but after years of working in that field, I have realized I am much more interested in having a bigger picture when it comes to the software creation and an option to communicate more with different parties involved in the process.
I switched to being a tester in 2020, and since then, I have diligently worked to deepen my understanding and proficiency in the field. I pride myself on having a strong working ethic and determination as well always willing to broaden my communication skills to deliver the best software experience possible.

During my testers career I have been implementing automated tests for API's and end to end tests for web applications UI. You can find some of those on github:
