While working for my second employer, Allied Testing LTD, I've been mostly providing Quality Assurance services for one of our major clients - Thomson Reuters LLC.Being a contractor for Thomson Reuters - mostly offsite, but for some projects also onsite - was a great opportunity to move from one project to another. So for the past 5 years I've been involved in more than 10 projects, which allowed me to interact with plenty of people and encounter various challenges, related to technical aspects of my duties, as well as to communication between team members. It was a good place to learn what team work means and to learn new tools and technologies while dealing with my daily tasks.As a QA Team Leader (and Senior QA Analyst), I’ve been involved in activities related to management of small test teams of up to 8 people (onsite and offsite). My responsibilities included the following activities:• definition of test scope, based on the results of the analysis of project’s Design Documentation;• creation of a weekly test plan;• daily assignment of training activities;• assistance for QA Analysts during test execution (help with investigation of issues found, review of reports on defects found, support for team members in getting answers to their questions);• daily review of activity reports generated by team members;• daily reporting to Line Managers via e-mail and voice teleconferences;

For projects where I’ve been involved as a QA Analyst, my responsibilities included the points below:• analysis of technical specifications and requirements. Breakdown of Product Implementation Architecture documents into elementary test criteria;• definition of test cases, based on the analysis of technical specification;• creation of detailed functional test scripts, aimed at covering the newly delivered functionality;• creation of non-functional test scripts (for automated load testing);• maintenance of regression test scripts;• execution of test scripts. Defect investigation and reporting;• creation of test reports and results reporting to the Line Manager;• deployment of systems delivered by the Development team within the test environments;• initial data load, configuration and smoke test of the deployed systems;

I started my career in a small firm from Chisinau, specialized in outdoor advertising. Being a System Administrator for Neonplast SRL was my first experience as an employee. It helped me build up my self-confidence and gather experience in interacting with fellow employees while analyzing their technical issues and providing them support.As a System Administrator I had the following responsibilities:• ensured the good functioning of the company hardware (about 30 workstations) and software;• deployed and maintained the company LAN;• installed and configured a FreeBSD server, used to provide a shared internet connection access and VPN access to the LAN; • developed a basic traffic accounting system, using Perl and the standard UNIX utilities;
