Hello!

My name is Yulia. I'm experienced Tester and QA Engineer in web development.

I'm in love with a testing ❤️
And I like to test various web projects, from rich internet applications to simple web pages, find bugs and problems in order to help companies make their products better. I strongly believe that people deserve flawless experience with any digital product.
Also, I'm eagerly learning some programming languages (JS, Swift) and acquiring knowledge about front-end and back-end development worlds.

In my work-life balance "work" time to time comes first, but to be honest I always able to find time for my hobbies and well-being activities: singing, ballet classes, sports and learning foreign languages.

CV

I always had a passion for computers and IT. At the middle school I attended special course of computer science for school students. It wasn't too hard for me, but during the course I realized that I wanted to learn more. When I graduated from school I went to Moscow and started work, I didn't have enough money to study at university, but I finished basic course of web coding and took some knowledge about HTML and CSS. Since then I've been slowly improving my skills in web technologies, as my workfield was quite far from IT. In 2013 I got my first position as junior tester. My colleagues helped me to grow up as a QA specialist and introduced me world of automation testing. Now I have great skills of testing and coding autotests with JS. I have strong background in basics of web development. I've been working as a QA already My goals is still in improving my coding and testing skills, as I want to be more efficient and proficient.


There is a list of projects I worked for:
