Software Tester

Tell us about your background

With over a decade of experience working as a software developer, I’ve developed and refined complex accounting systems, onboarded users, and ensured high-quality software solutions. This background has given me a strong ability to anticipate challenges, deeply understand user needs, and drive product improvements.

After moving to Canada, I quickly expanded my skill set to include web and mobile development, as well as software testing. My work as a QA professional is driven by a strong attention to detail and a deep appreciation for software quality standards. In my role as a QA developer, I leverage my development experience—from gathering requirements to implementation and user support—which helps me better understand product needs and adapt quickly to new technologies.

What interested you in Micruity?

Micruity has a complex and innovative product, making it an exciting challenge for a tester. I enjoy working on systems that require a deep understanding and offer room for growth and improvement. Additionally, there’s still a lot to develop and enhance in the QA processes, which I see as both a challenge and an opportunity for professional growth.

Beyond that, I bring leadership skills, initiative, and hands-on experience to the team. I’m excited about contributing to Micruity by driving improvements and ensuring the highest quality standards.

What is most challenging/interesting in your role?

The most interesting aspect of my role is ensuring software quality in a constantly evolving environment. Every product presents unique challenges, whether it’s understanding complex business logic, optimizing testing strategies, or improving automation. I enjoy diving deep into requirements, identifying edge cases, and collaborating with different teams to make sure we’re delivering the best possible product. What excites me the most is that there’s always to refine and improve QA processes. Finding ways to enhance efficiency and implement better testing strategies keeps the work engaging and rewarding.

What are some of your hobbies/interests outside of work?

In my free time, I love spending time with my family, reading, and painting with watercolours.
