Personal statement

My name is Test Analyst, I studied at TAU (The Analysts University) to achieve a BA with honors in computer science. I am a fully competent individual with excellent knowledge of setting up tests for all kinds of software, be it large enterprise scale or a small independent system. I have a very dynamic approach to problems that means I can find and tackle issues head on.

I also have fantastic analytical skills, meaning I can recognize patterns and sequences out of many different sets of data, all with great attention to detail and accuracy. Using these skills I was able to develop new methods, that I could teach to others, to help speed up workflow and improve the efficiency of teams almost three fold.

During my time as a tester, as well as a Test Analyst, I picked up an expansive knowledge of software problems and faults. This ranges from common issues, to obscure bugs that may not be expected at all (under normal user conditions). Using these skills I can efficiently determine what might be a cause of problems in any given piece of software. I feel that this skill helps greatly in improving how quickly and accurately I can complete tasks.

I am currently looking for a suitable role as a test analyst to continue to grow my knowledge and become part of a larger team.

Outside of work I am a huge sports fan. I enjoy getting together with friends and playing baseball, football and golf. I find that keeping active outside of work keeps me focused and it is a perfect time to think of new ways to improve workflow.
