Summary

Hello.

My name is Daria. I am looking for a new opportunity in the Quality assurance field. I just finished a very challenging project with Google and am ready for a new challenge. I am going on my 6th year of my career in Quality Assurance industry. I have had a pleasure of working on projects from various field including but not limited to Finance, SAAS, Digital Advertising/ Marketing, Business Solutions, E-commerce, Gaming, etc.. Each project brought on new challenges and I really enjoyed each and every one of them. I am an extremely fast learner and adjust to new situations really quickly. I enjoy working in fast pace environment. I like to stimulate my mind and ensure further growth by working with new concepts. Technology moves so fast that I feel like being in Quality Assurance there is so much to learn each and every day. I am very well versed in both QA methodology and technical part of it. I am very experienced working in Agile environments but am not opposed to any other SDLC models. Adaptability is one of my strengths. I am curious by nature which I believe fits very well with testing. I take pride in my work and ensure that everything I work on is done to the highest degree of quality there is. I am very resourceful and believe that there is a solution for everything. You just have to use your existing knowledge, think logically and utilize all of the resources available to you if you are faced with a problem you might have not had to deal with before. I have excellent analytical abilities and have a proven track record of coming up with creative solutions to problems that I am facing. In combination with my technical skills it makes me a very well strong candidate. I would love to find a project that would promote further development of my skill set through working on maximizing success of the company I would be a part of. I hope that gives a good idea of what type of positions I would be a great fit for. And I appreciate your attention to my profile in advance.

Sincerely,

Daria Gluhovskaia
