— After graduating from university with a degree in State and Municipal Administration, I constantly thought about making a smart career choice. Having a trusted group of friends to discuss various topics led me to take my first life-altering steps in IT. It all started with learning the basics of software testing and, after some time, I contacted Exactpro for an interview. My initial impression was that I was in a circle of friendly people.
Over the course of my journey, I have had the opportunity to tackle a wide variety of testing challenges, learn valuable skills from experienced team members, and significantly improve my technical expertise. This path has not only deepened my understanding of QA practices but also helped me develop a more strategic approach to testing. It has been an exciting process of growth and continuous learning.
I've always been passionate about exploring new technologies, and working in the Capital Markets (CM) division at Exactpro gives me the chance to work on some of the most interesting and challenging projects in the industry. Working in the CM division also offers great opportunities to test complex, high-load systems that are essential to global financial markets. The rise of AI and machine learning has made things even more exciting, especially in terms of finding ways in which these technologies can improve testing.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family. I also appreciate moments of solitude to reflect on life and its opportunities. Ultimately, it’s this balance that keeps me grounded and ready for the next challenge at work.
What I truly appreciate about working at Exactpro is the freedom to explore numerous new opportunities. I am grateful to be part of a team that is constantly moving things forward with real passion and dedication.
