  I've joined Booking.com Transport Business Unit engineering department as a Software Test Engineer Apprentice. During my apprenticeship, I have passed my ISTQB Foundation certification and supported my team on testing tasks. I work in an agile environment and I advocate for testers to be involved throughout the whole Software Development Lifecycle. I enjoy working with the team, mobbing with developers and other testers to create a quality product. My favourite thing about testing as a career path is that there are always new things to learn and a challenge to tackle. Show less

  My passion and advocating for being involved throughout the whole software development lifecycle as a QA landed me on a Project Manager role. This role is closer to PO rather than PM, because I have a squad of six developers, two designers, two QA, researcher and data analyst and we implement various A/B tests and features on all of the platforms in order to improve user Setup and Activation metrics. I'm also leading a project team gathered up to improve our user's support experience.My responsibilities:Planning quarterly OKRsComing up with the ideas based on user research, feedback and dataManaging the whole lifecycle of the projects - from ideation to release and further iterationsLeading weekly catchup meetings, organising project kick-offs, team retrosWorking closely with design and researchers to come up with the best design solutionsCreating User stories with acceptance criteria and respective tasks in JiraManaging and prioritising backlog Show less Currently I'm mainly working on Windows and Android applications, transitioning to mainly focus on the Android app. As a mid QA engineer, I am not only working with the development teams, but I'm also actively involved in hiring activities, onboarding new colleagues, improving QA and support ticket management processes. For the past year I've also been a part of the multidisciplinary Growth team and worked on various projects with different engineering teams (front-end, backend, apps, marketing). Show less
