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.
