Numele meu este Florin Stefan, am 27 de ani si sunt Software Tester de 7 ani.

Mi-am inceput calatoria in lumea testarii software printr-un curs la FasttrackIT, locul in care am invatat de la zero ce inseamna testarea si care este scopul ei in software development.

In acesti 7 ani am avut ocazia sa lucrez in diferite companii, de la startup-uri de 6 oameni pana la companii de mii de oameni. De asemenea, domeniile in care am activat au variat foarte mult, de la iOT, la Automotive, Blockchain, Healthcare, Financial.

Toate aceste experiente m-au format si mi-au oferit ocazia sa interactionez cu o multime de tehnologii, permitandu-mi sa testez aplicatii web, mobile, desktop, device-uri hardware, si automobile nelansate la vremea respectiva.

Mi-a placut intotdeauna sa imi folosesc cunostiintele pentru a ajuta oamenii, iar de-a lungul timpului am tinut diferite workshop-uri de testare si sesiuni de coaching in echipele in care am activat, acesta fiind si motivul pentru care am ales sa merg la nivelul urmator si sa ma alatur echipei FasttrackIT.

Sunt pasionat de software testing si caut in continuu sa acumulez mai multe cunostiinte si sa ma dezvolt si pe alte ramuri ale software development-ului, care consider ca ma ajuta in a deveni un tester mai bun, mai complet.

As a software engineer, I consider myself a tech-oriented person and a clean code advocate.

I have been passionate about Computers even before knowing what IT means, at age of 12 I received as a present from my parents a desktop computer, and the first thing that I started doing was to play games. After a while, being bored of games, I was sure that the Computer can do much more and I started looking at the computers from a technological perspective.

At first, I learned about hardware, and software, the internet was something new to us, and all in all, this led to my launching pad into IT. This happened back in ’00s.

With more than 10 years of experience in both testing and development having strong focus on Test Automation, I have proven in many complex projects that the Test Automation process brings much value to the customer, and it should be implemented in any small or big project right from the beginning of the project.

The Shift Left approach with a „Test early and often” mindset have proven the right recipe to high quality software delivery, and I try to propagate in any project that I contribute to.

Outside of the office, I’m 34 Years old, married, I have a 2-year-old son. I am passionate about skiing, paragliding, outdoors activities, which I have put them on 2nd place for obvious reasons.

Looking forward to sharing with you my experience and don’t hesitate to reach out on social media.
