About Me

Hello! My name is Anna.

I am an experienced Quality Assurance and Test Automation professional, as well as an educator and curriculum developer. Over the years, I have transitioned from a Python developer to a Senior Automation Quality Assurance Engineer and mentor.

My professional journey began in Python development and gradually shifted toward software quality and testing. I have successfully built automated testing systems from the ground up, implemented industry-leading QA practices across teams and projects, and designed educational programs for aspiring professionals.

My portfolio highlights my work across various companies and my involvement in teaching and curriculum development. I take pride in contributing to the growth of professionals and teams and continue to share my expertise through both professional work and educational initiatives.
