Senior Qa Automation Engineer

Hi, I’m Alexander, a curious and passionate individual with a love for both technology and creative exploration. While my professional life is rooted in QA and Python development, my personal journey is about growth, adventure, and connecting with people.

When I’m not automating workflows or diving into the latest tech, you’ll find me cycling through scenic routes, capturing moments through photography, or immersed in a compelling book. Travel fuels my inspiration, and I’m always excited to explore new cultures and perspectives.

I thrive on learning—whether it’s experimenting with AI, tinkering with DIY projects, or pursuing courses to master emerging technologies. At my core, I’m a problem solver who enjoys challenges, values teamwork, and takes pride in seeing a project through to completion.

Life for me is about balancing precision and creativity. Every project, be it professional or personal, is an opportunity to grow, learn, and leave a meaningful impact. Let’s connect and create something remarkable together!
