I chose for a job in software testing after getting my master degree in computer science because of my quality minded approach and my attention to detail. My main expertise consists of test management, test automation, test tooling and requirement analysis as a consequence of experience built up during several projects in different sectors during the past years.

Currently I am working as a QA Lead at the VDAB. My mission is to improve the testing process. Coordinate the testing activities of the manual and automated testers and coach them where needed.

My tasks in previous projects consisted of test management, requirement analysis, setting up test automation frameworks (in and #), supervision of tests automated by other team members, manual testing and managing test tools (like HP ALM) as an administrator.

I worked in rapidly changing informal environments as well as in very formal environments like the payment sector and safety-critical projects (Schengen and Siemens).

Because of the combination of my functional and technical knowledge I am the perfect person to make the bridge between the functional and technical people of the project.

Alongside my IT skills I also have very highly developed communication and leading/coaching skills. I like to take commitment and initiative.

Thanks to my social skills I am able to integrate into the team very quickly.
