Professional experience

My adventure in IT started in July 2013 with internship in IT Consulting Department in AMG.net company. I applied mainly because of the interest in the real estate market (and one of the projects that needed help was strictly related) but soon I got really dragged into IT world. I spent ~4 years in this company working in multiple projects that concerned many areas: real estate market, customs, finance, EU fundings. My responsibilities included:

• day-to-day contact with developers and customers
• analyzing the requirements
• testing the applications
• preparing the documentation
• resolving support tickets
• in my last project I worked on daily basis with SQL, querying the database and preparing repair scripts.

In my next company I switched to private sector and projects related to pharmaceutical industry. Apart from functional testing and business analysis, I gained some new experiences:

• working in the international team
• API testing with Postman and Swagger
• working in Scrum team
• writing user stories, managing backlog
• leading refinement sessions for bigger audience
• carrying Product Owner's role for few months.

I am a fan and participant of Hacktoberfest events (2022, 2023)
