Software Quality Analyst
Have you found yourself asking how do things work? Well, that is mostly me. I was probably
six-years old when I saw a computer for the first time and since then I fell in love with tech.
I discovered that programming was for me when I was in high school but I decided to shift my career into something
that mixes hardware and software, that is why I studied telematics engineering. However, as many of us in the IT industry I also suffered
of something called "The impostor syndrome" but sooner than later I found out that I was the one limiting myself.
Ever since I've been trying to broaden my understanding on software development, I've worked as a Software Developer, Database and Network administrator
over the past years.
Nevertheless, being a Quality Analyst has taught me so much about achieving higher standards of software products and processes.
I have been working on "shifting quality left" and embedding quality within the software development lifecycle, I truly believe that testing
does not improve quality, identify risks in early stages does. In this way I have ensured robust and fast delivery of an overall high quality product.
