Work history

Software QA engineer

MindLink
London

While much of my time as a QA Engineer was dedicated to core tasks such as release testing, feature testing, test matrix development, and bug/improvement tracking, I also took the initiative to lead and develop an end-to-end browser test automation project using C# and Playwright. This project allowed me to gain hands-on experience with a variety of technologies, including Azure Pipelines, C#, PowerShell, ASP.NET, React, TypeScript, Playwright, and Power BI. Throughout this process, I worked within an Agile Scrum development framework, contributing to both the quality and efficiency of the development lifecycle.

For several years, I worked as a freelance 3D asset designer and 3D render artist, where I specialized in creating detailed 3D models for video games, including weapons, props, and various in-game assets. Additionally, I utilized 3D rendering techniques to produce high-quality thumbnails and promotional imagery, ensuring visual appeal and alignment with project requirements.
