About Me

Experienced QA leader and manager focused on people. I have wide experience in managing and leading people. I have been responsible for preparing growth plan, motivating, coaching, challenging, retaining people. I have built few great testing teams. I love managing style based on coaching. Good negotiator and conflict solver. I have been working in and managing multicultural environments.
I have huge experience with people management and this is the way where I would like to develop myself.
I am also a lecturer on one of the Gdansk’s universities and a conference speaker.
I work also as a project manager for testing project. Big fan of Kanban. I have wide experience with Scrum, Kanban and Waterfall. I know PMI and Lean as well.
I have been working as test manager and test architect. I have big knowledge about manual and automation tests. I have been working with Java, Selenium, Jbehave, RestAssured, Junit, TestNG, Siquli, Hamcrest. I have had also episode with Squish and Python.
As a former Java developer I like to introducing, in project I work, best practices, DDT approach and design patters.
