Hi everyone! 😀✋ I’m Alex, a British guy who’s been living in Helsinki, Finland for the past 15 years.

• Working as a test automation architect for Nordea bank
• I’ve a background in many IT areas - mostly as a developer, but also stints in network admin, database admin & business intelligence and of course, testing too
• I love to help people so any of those topics or more in IT I could likely/hopefully give help on
• To say I’m a passionate cook is an understatement… definitely one hidden talent is being in the kitchen playing with food! 
• I also love playing all sports, partying, cinema, pub culture (with darts, pool etc.), restaurants, church… & life in general. There’s not too much I dislike or wouldn’t try out
• Why is quality important: to prevent crappy product decisions, scope, priority etc. as Microsoft put out, or released products which are unstable & crash as EA + most other AAA computer game makers put out nowadays.
• I love hamsters but don’t currently have a pet (would love a piglet & goat as those are hilarious but am not allowed those in the apartment!)… but here’s a turtle picture if that still counts...

Hi all, I’m Mirza, I live in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

• I live sci fi and fantasy and I can quote pretty much everything from the original Star Wars movies and communicate fluently in prequel memes. I don’t like the last three movies at all but I do like most of the new Disney’s series and cartoons
• I work as a tester in fintech, on a project that uses BDD - properly to my delight 
• Right now my main professional interest are test management and quality coaching and mobile testing
• I like being active in the community, writing blogs, doing occasional conference or meetup talks, I run a small local testing meetup and do a bit of pro-bono mentoring when I got time
• My favorite music genres are old school hip hop and classical heavy metal
• In my free time I like to goof around with my son, take long walks and listen to software quality-focused podcasts like, the AB Testing podcast, for example

I do some writing, including some posts at TestProject, as well as on my weekly leadership blog, and my weekly knowledge sharing blog, and some other places as well.

I live in the pacific northwest, about 10 miles east of Seattle where I battle the dreariness by doing as much hiking and biking and skiing as I can.

Hello, I am Daniela.

I am based in Romania and am currently employed as a debt collector in an Italian company. My responsibilities include managing and resolving financial obligations with clients in the Italian language. With a solid background in manual testing, I am confident in my ability to efficiently identify bugs, errors, and inconsistencies in software applications. I am passionate about helping others enhance their testing processes.

However, I have encountered challenges in converting my skills into job opportunities due to being considered a beginner. Despite my limited experience, I occasionally work as a freelancer on the uTest platform. To further bolster my credentials, I am currently considering studying for the ISTQB certification and taking the exam, which I believe could facilitate finding a job.

Beyond my technical skills, I possess a natural talent for detecting bugs and a knack for creative problem-solving. 

Quality is of paramount importance in all aspects of life, particularly in software development and testing. High-quality software guarantees a positive user experience, minimizes disruptions, and boosts customer satisfaction. Moreover, a focus on quality leads to efficient resource utilization by reducing the need for constant fixes and updates.

My name is Fidelis and I'm based in Lagos, Nigeria.

• I work as a Software Quality Assurance Engineer.
• The topic I consider myself an expert on is Writing clean, high-quality code.
• My hidden talent is that I have a wide variety of interests outside of work - I enjoy reading, going to modern art exhibitions, and listening to podcasts like Stuff You Should Know. 
• Quality is so important because it ensures products and services reliably meet customers' needs. With quality, customers know they're getting good value for their time and money. For businesses, higher quality means fewer defects which reduces costs and improves customer satisfaction. Overall, quality leads to better experiences and a smoothly functioning society. I think focusing on quality helps create positive outcomes for both businesses and customers.

Hello everyone,
I’m Chinedu from lagos, Nigeria.
I work as a software quality assurance engineer.
Not that I’m an expert in performance test and tuning but I will always love to engage in conversations about software performance.
I  love breaking and fixing things particularly around software applications and electricals.

Having been in situations where low or lack of quality in process and product impacted people negatively and resulted in revenue loss of organizations. It can be said that quality in process and product including software application establishes reliability and trust from users and also increases revenue by reducing cost of rework and the list goes on.
