As an all round Software Engineer I'm always looking for some new challenges and action! I want to adapt with any development environment as quick as possible. Sympathising with the needs and features of end-users is something I've grown into since my study in Interaction Design. I've got an eye for details when it comes to completeness, reliability, and other usability aspects of web applications coming from wide experience in front-end web development. Being efficient and trying to expose and eliminating waste during development is important to me in order to get the end results efficiently and get the job done.

From September 2014 to Present (1 year 4 months) Agile Testing Consultant and Trainer @ Traditional testers in traditional waterfall projects are used to test software at the end of the software cycle. Nowadays we find that too late in the process, resulting in test squeeze and project delays. An Agile team is continually focusing on doing its best work and delivering the best possible product. That means that delivering quality software is a team effort. In order to get everyone responsible for delivering the right product, the team needs to get "test infected"​.
