Introduction

I am a skilled IT professional with 11 years of experience in the field of Software Testing. Before I moved to Software Testing, I worked for 3 years as a Software Developer, which helps me now to spot problems early in the project.

I have been involved in test projects in various sectors, such as telecommunication and banking. I am an independent and team-oriented consultant with a positive drive. I am solution minded and social. I am committed to deliver quality and I am very open-minded.

I hold the TMAP Next certificate, the ISEB/ISTQB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing including the Agile Extension certificate and the IREB Certification for Requirements Engineering.
