Interpersonal skills - to articulate ideas and issues clearly and concisely, actively listen to others' perspectives and provide constructive feedback.

Good teamwork - to effectively collaborate with other team members, contribute to the team's success and ensure that products meet the required quality standards.

Flexibility - as projects and priorities can shift quickly, QA should be adaptable and be willing to adjust to changing circumstances, work under pressure and meet deadlines.

The most interesting thing I've worked on in my career so far...

I worked on a project that required load testing for a ticket system to identify bottlenecks and weaknesses in the system that caused slow response times, errors, and system crashes. It was an exciting and challenging task that required a deep understanding of the system architecture, user behavior, and load-testing tools and techniques.

In my high-school days, I was intrigued by the tech industry dynamic as it offered a great prospect for continuous learning throughout life. Working in tech provides a unique opportunity to actively participate in shaping our future since technology plays a vital role in numerous fields, from communication to healthcare, etc.

After studying for a Master's in Electronic Multimedia Editions, I completed GlobalLogic Manual Basecamp in Ukraine, successfully passed the final test and interviews, and started to work there as Associate Manual QA on a media project. 10 months later I joined GlobalLogic UK&I and am now planning to explore the Automation side of testing in order to better fill positions on existing and upcoming GL projects.
