Additional information

You may have even heard of me back in the 2000s. I created a catalog of films that were released in the DivX format (there was even a small note about this project in the printed edition of the Hacker magazine). In the 2010s, I created a website on sports topics (parkour), and even held an athletes' meeting from different parts of Ukraine (you can also find an interview with me about this project in the "What's On" magazine). The next project I created was a catalog of free sports playgrounds in Kyiv, which received wide support among young people.

At the moment, I am developing indicators for the Metatrader 5 (MQL5) exchange trading terminal. A lot of my indicators are presented on the MQL5 website with tons of downloads and a high rating. You can read about the progress of developing new indicators and systems on my LinkedIn. But I have always been interested in testing. I have extensive hardware QA Engineer experience (more than 3 years) in EPOS Ltd., and I'm still using this knowledge to help people detect and solve problems with their PC and software. As a software QA Engineer, I was working on projects at Combattesting.com and KMBTI. I was taking part in developing a specialized application for KMBTI (Real Estate Appraisal Software). In Combattesting, I have about 1 year of experience as a freelance game tester within a small group of people. I tested games from early alpha stages to pre-release builds (including AAA projects). I have experience coordinating a small team. I am quite stress-resistant due to my calm nature. Testing software and finding bugs is like a hobby or challenge for me. That is why I always tried to participate in testing even when working in other areas. Learning programming languages is one of the elements for a better understanding of what to look for when testing (In reality, this not only did not simplify but even complicated the nature of bugs/issues). Searching for information on the Internet was one of my advantages. Now I am not shy about using AI for my tasks. And if I am not satisfied with Claude's answer (and often for double-checking), I use the same ChatGPT or Grok, etc.

Why testing - because it has always been interesting for me. Each person has some predisposition. For me, it is the IT sphere. And testing - I just liked it all the time. With the development of AI and its associated operational principles, the volume of software being developed is expected to increase. I believe that the demand for people passionate about the IT field will grow.
